At Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong, we take great pride in nurturing the diverse talents of our students. Today, we celebrate the remarkable achievement of Zack, who has been offered a place in the 2024 production of “The Wizard of Oz” by Face Productions.

Excited by the performance, he decided to audition for the following year’s production, “The Wizard of Oz”. We eagerly anticipate Zack’s performance on stage next year, as he embarks on a new journey into the world of theater.
