Playful Tales Wrap-up

Staff and students in Stage 2 and 3 were delighted to have finally got their productions to the stage after the hiatus that COVID presented in the last few years. Students diligently worked alongside their teachers, learning words, songs and dance moves, whilst our fabulous production teams worked on sets, props and costumes. We were also very grateful to have some wonderful parent helpers that created some of our fantastic costumes. The atmosphere inside the Orange Function Centre at each performance was thrilling, as both cast, and audience thoroughly enjoyed the experience of coming together for live theatre and music.

The Junior School has a long and illustrious history of musicals, courtesy of Romko Hordynsky, who wrote and directed incredible musicals for many years. We hope that we have honoured that legacy with our dramatic offerings this year. We are very blessed at Kinross Wolaroi to be able to run a performing arts program that involves all children and gives our students a unique opportunity to be involved in a collective project that requires self-discipline, resilience, courage and often requires students to step outside their comfort zone. These are skills that will serve our children well into Senior School and beyond. Please enjoy some of the photos from both the Stage 2 and 3 shows below.

Strings Concert

We celebrated the end of a busy term for our string players with a wonderful concert hosted in the DPA featuring all our string ensembles. The concert featured our youngest players in Beginner Strings through to our most experienced in Chamber Strings, celebrating both large and small string ensembles performing a wide range of music. The high standard of music performed reflected the dedication and commitment of our string tutors and ensemble directors. We also acknowledge all our fabulous students and parents who support our program. A particular thanks must also go to Mrs Lorraine Moxey for her wealth of knowledge and expertise and passionate leadership of our Strings program at Kinross Wolaroi.
