House Production 2021

Sadly we have had to cancel our student run House Production this year due to the disruptions of lockdowns, Covid restrictions and clashes with exams and Headstart. We would like to thank all students who were involved and a special huge thank you to our Arts House Captains for their leadership and hard work. On a happier note, we are looking forward to our first Musical Production since 2018, in our brand new Performing Arts Centre in 2022. Here is a clue as to what next year's musical is going to be! Chookas.
