A Magical Journey to Oz

Congratulations to all of our talented students on a truly wonderful performance of The Wizard of Oz! From the cute mice, the colourful munchkins, the clever scarecrows, the heartfelt tinmen, the brave lions, the joyful citizens of Oz, the fearsome flying monkeys and each of the lead cast, the show was a joy to watch and a celebration of creativity and teamwork.

Productions like this don’t just happen on their own – they are the result of countless hours of hard work, imagination, and persistence. Thank you to all of the Kalinda staff who guided and encouraged our students every step of the way. The students themselves shone brightly, bringing the beloved characters of Oz to life with so much confidence and enthusiasm.

I would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the parents, grandparent, siblings and volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Whether it was helping with costumes, sets, lighting, choreography, transport, or simply lending a hand wherever needed, your generosity and support made this production possible. Together, our school community put on a show that we should all be very proud of.

Bravo to everyone involved!
