Our Year 8 dance, drama and music classes had the opportunity to perform two concerts for Kindergarten, Year 1 and Year 2 students, featuring well-known fairy tales, beloved children’s stories and songs.

Some of the fairy tales included favourites such as Hansel and Gretel, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Little Red Riding Hood. Students made clever use of props, space, gestures and dialogue to bring their stories to life.

The dancers were inspired by Alice in Wonderland and creatively interpreted the story through movement, including the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts and, of course, Alice.

Music students enjoyed performing their favourite children’s songs, ranging from traditional nursery rhymes and TV theme songs to popular artists such as The Wiggles.

Our young audience members were thoroughly entertained, often joining in by singing and clapping along. It was a wonderful celebration of storytelling through music, dance and drama.

We extend our thanks to the Junior School teachers for their assistance in organising this event, and to the Performing Arts team for their dedicated work with the students.
