School Production

PRODUCTION NEWS - "THE TOYS" - OCT 16TH 

We’re well into the swing of this year’s school production, The Toys - a fun, original show created for, and by, our school community.

Auditions took place in Week 4, the cast was announced last week- and behind the scenes, sets and choreography are being designed, costumes and props are being sourced, and rehearsals begin this week.

A big thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. We look forward to continuing the creative journey with even more of our school community in the months ahead.

About the Show – The Toys

In a world where toys have never existed, one restless kid is determined to make Christmas feel magical. When Deedee Smith and her siblings sneak into a mysterious old building, they accidentally unlock a long-forgotten toy factory… and the secrets it holds. Inside, they discover a colourful cast of toys that were built to bring joy - but have never been played with... until now.

Set to a soundtrack of iconic 90s hits, The Toys is a story about imagination, family, and the importance of play - starring malfunctioning dolls, melodramatic toy robots, boot-scootin’ cowboys and cowgirls, jazz-handed teddy bears and plenty more.

With our Year 5/6 students in speaking roles - and every student from Foundation to Year 6 taking part in a dance number - we can’t wait to bring The Toys to life on stage this October.
