PRODUCTION 2025 – HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL
This year we are excited to be presenting 'High School Musical On Stage!' We've received a record number of applications for this year's college production! We are so proud of everyone who has already auditioned; casting is going to be very difficult due to the incredible talent of our students. A reminder to those auditioning to keep an eye on their emails for information regarding call-backs and casting. The final cast and crew lists are estimated to be finalised by Friday the 14th of February but will be emailed out no later than Monday the 17th of February. If you were wanting to apply for crew and have not yet done so, this is your last chance! Applications for crew close Monday 10th February. The first production rehearsal will be on Thursday the 20th of February and will require all cast, band and crew from 3pm-6pm. More information regarding production will of course be sent out to all students involved, soon.
Shows will be August 27th - August 30th. Ticket info and further details coming in the following weeks!

MUSICIAN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM – MDP
Lessons for MDP have now commenced for music students who have returned their contracts. Students are advised to check Compass to view when lessons have been scheduled and which room has been allocated for sessions.
MDP students are also involved with ensembles (bands). Rehearsals will officially be underway next week. A reminder to also please also check Compass to see what room your ensemble will be rehearsing in and when this is happening. Lessons and ensemble rehearsals both show as smaller 'classes' on Compass timetables.
Please get in touch with your instrumental music teacher in your private channel/teams space if you have any questions regarding your lessons/ensemble. A reminder also to enable notifications for Teams channels so students can remain up to date with communication from instrumental music teachers.
If you have any questions about MDP in general, or something that your instrumental music teachers can’t answer, please reach out via the MDP email:
