Secondary School Musical

On September 11 and 12, our Secondary school students brought the timeless musical Oliver! JR to life in a dazzling performance that captivated the entire audience. Based on Charles Dickens' classic novel Oliver Twist, the musical follows the journey of a young orphan, Oliver, as he navigates the harsh streets of Victorian London, encountering a cast of colorful characters, including the cunning Artful Dodger, the notorious Fagin, and the kind-hearted Nancy.

The lead role of Oliver was portrayed beautifully by Rebekah Davey, whose heartfelt performance captured the spirit of hope and resilience. Heidi Burford shone as the quick-witted Dodger, while Mia-Maree Hart delivered a commanding performance as Fagin, the leader of a band of pickpockets. Megan Jansen gave a powerful portrayal of Nancy, and Jesse Yeap brought an intimidating presence to the stage as Bill Sykes. Caleb Chu gave a fantastic performance as the pompous Mr. Bumble, while Amelie Vilar brought humour and charm to the role of Widow Corney, creating a memorable duo on stage.

The musical featured a talented and dedicated cast of students from Years 7 to 12, supported by Grade 6 students who played the Workhouse Children. The teamwork of the efficient backstage crew, combined with a multi-talented group of teachers guiding and directing the students, ensured the success of the production.

With its inspiring performances and seamless execution, Oliver! JR. was a memorable event that showcased the incredible talent and hard work of everyone involved. Congratulations to the entire cast, crew, and directing team for putting on such a wonderful show!
