Junior School Production: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Our talented Junior School actors dazzled audiences last week with their vibrant and colourful performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. From colourful costumes to catchy show tunes, all of our young performers brought their characters to life and it was truly wonderful to see their hard work, teamwork and dedication shine on stage. A huge thank you to all of those in our community who attended the performances. 

A special congratulations to our co-directors, Mrs Lucy Butler-Rees and Mrs Georgiana Rice, for their effort and dedication in directing such a wonderful show. We also wish to congratulate those who worked so hard behind the scenes - staff, students and parents - whose support helps to ensure these events become such a success. 

Bravo to our wonderful cast!

We are excited to share a highlight reel below:
