Performing Arts update

Zombies, run! 

Year 10 Drama students took to the stage recently to perform their whole-class major production, 10 Ways to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse, for family and friends, as well as Year 5 students and a select group of Year 10s. 

Students worked hard throughout Terms 3 and 4 rehearsing and finalising the designs for the promotional poster and hoodie. 

What would you do if hordes of rampaging zombies were able to eat your sweet warm living flesh? Try your hand at kung fu against the living dead? Attempt to reason with creatures that would rather eat brains than use them? Sacrifice the weak? Poor Nanna!

The performance was loads of fun (and guts). 

Twists on children's classics

In Year 9, students recently completed a unit on children's theatre where they worked from much-loved children's stories to develop scripts and characters. 

The unit culminated in colourful and energetic performances for our Kinder students, who loved seeing book characters they were familiar with come to life on stage: 

Oola searched high and low for her missing hoot in Oola and the Owl; a young girl harassed Olympic figure-skating bears in Baldilocks (a hairless twist on the original); a clever little mouse tricked woodland creatures big and small in The Gruffalo; and we went traipsing through the long wavy grass, thick oozy mud and big dark forest in We're Going on a Bear Hunt.
