What an incredible team we have here at school. I am so proud of you all. The teachers all worked in so hard together and supported each other with each using their strengths to create such a fabulous production.
The children too learnt valuable real life lessons about leadership, managing themselves, communicating and presenting. Older ones mentored their housemates and covered for each other, being where they should be, in the costumes they should be in, with the props they needed and on time, ready to move on stage. And then giving such rich performances for their appreciative audience.
At one stage one of the younger students drew my attention, looked fiercely into my eyes and told me that she needed me to take a much needed prop to another child on the other side of the stage as it was needed there immediately and she needed to be on stage and couldn't get it there herself. Such self confidence and assurance were lessons not easily constructed and put into practice in a classroom context.
Here are some photos to whet your appetite for Friday's performance.

I was very nervous at first because it was time to get into our camping gear and our camping gear is the most we had to get on and we had the least time.Everybody new that ALLANAH was very anctious but it was a fun night. Georgia
I was shaky at first but as a little humor came in I became confident. I had to run up and down the hall to get my stuff.jacob
I felt very nervous when I walked on stage and did a big talk as inspector.But I was very confident. We all had great fun and were very tired after the show.
