Dear Families,

We are excited to announce that tickets for this year's musical are now on sale. Please see the ticket information page to book your seats.

Set in 1959, Not Your Average Joe tells the story of Joseph groovier than ever before! Joe and his family run Papa Jake's Fries and Shakes, but Joe spends most of his time sleeping on the job. Finally sick of his antics, Joe's siblings ship him to Pharoah's Point, where he learns how to live the beach bro lifestyle from a groovy crew of surfer dudes and meets the self-appointed king of the beach, Kahuna. With some help from a new friend, Joe learns how to trust God with the unknown and eventually forgive his siblings, just like God forgave us. When a storm hits the beach, it's up to Joe to bring the community together and save the beach. Hang loose and don't forget your boardies, because summer is about to begin!

Who is involved: The whole school – so ALL students from Foundation to Year 6.
