Dear Parents, Guardians and Carers,

Wow, although we have some tired staff and students today we are all still buzzing from our fantastic school production “From Page to Stage”.  We are so incredibly proud of all our students who performed with such enthusiasm.  We have definitely discovered some well hidden talents in many of our students.  

A huge thank you to our Performing Arts Teacher extraordinaire Miss Sammie Grumley for all your work putting this show on.  From rehearsals, choreography, script writing, props and the extra rehearsals for staff (some of us even needing 1:1 assistance).

Finally to all of the production team who supported Sammie, the staff and students we are extremely grateful for all the hard work and effort you put in to make this production a huge success.
