In the spirit of the holiday season, our Year 1, 2 and 3 students recently took to the stage to perform a heartwarming adaptation of the beloved Dr. Seuss classic, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The performances took place on the 13th and 14th of December, with the students first enchanting their fellow students from Years 4 to 8 on Wednesday, and then spreading joy to their parents and caregivers on Thursday. With fun costumes, confident performances, and an enthusiastic audience, these performances left a festive spirit to close off the term. To round off the celebrations, parents were treated to a delightful gathering featuring mince pies and other festive snacks.
The performance transported the audience to the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss, as the students embodied each character. From the mischievous Grinch to the endearing Whos of Whoville, their commitment to their roles was commendable. It was a joyous occasion for parents and caregivers to witness their children shining on stage, showcasing their skills and embracing the magic of theatre. It certainly was a beautiful way to end the term.
In addition to the performance by the Year 1, 2 and 3 students, our school’s Junior and Senior Choirs also took part. The Junior Choir showed the audience their lovely voices and youthful enthusiasm. The Senior Choir, consisting of our older students, sang remarkably well too. Their performances resonated with the spirit of the season and were a wonderful addition to the performance of The Grinch.
Following the performance, parents were treated to a gathering where they enjoyed traditional mince pies and other festive snacks bringing our school community together once again, leaving everyone in high spirits before the holiday break.
We extend our congratulations to the Year 1, 2 and 3 students for their performances and our gratitude to the dedicated staff who made this magical event possible. May the spirit of the Grinch’s transformation and the joy of the season continue to inspire us all.
