Kinross Wolaroi Reads
Looking to snuggle up by the fire with a good book this winter holidays?
‘The Happiest Man on Earth’ is the remarkable true story of Eddie Jaku’s awe-inspiring survival of the Holocaust and an uplifting reflection on gratitude and hope.
In our first ever ‘KINROSS WOLAROI READS’ initiative, we invite students, staff and parents to read this incredible tale over the break. In Term 3, we will be holding a range of activities, both inside and outside of school, so that our community can come together and share our thoughts on this narrative of survival, the miracle of human kindness and the power of hope. It is a short book and, although it deals with some harrowing events, is suitable for readers aged 12 and above.
Track down a copy of this excellent book at our local Orange Collins Bookstore, online or from the KWS library now. Happy reading!

The Addams Family: A Musical Comedy
Featuring an original story, The Addams Family, is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family. In the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family, to be sad is to be happy, to feel pain is to feel joy, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams.
Directed by Alex Dunkley, the KWS 2021 musical features Jonty King in the quirky lead role of Gomez Addams. His lovely, morbid wife Morticia is played by Catie Crisp. Their daughter, Wednesday is played by Ella Andrews. She teams up with her onstage boyfriend, Cale Slack-Smith in the role of Lucas. Kate Dowd, Duncan Holland, Charlie Hall, Sam Durkin, Ethan Kairaitis and Oscar McLaughlin also star, alongside 30 vibrant chorus dancers to bring you a hilarious and energetic piece of musical theatre.
Bookings can be made through Ticketek via the Orange Civic Theatre or click on the link below. It will be an enjoyable evening for the whole family!
