Our Years 7–8 Productions

In 2015 our Prep students enchanted their audiences with the fascinating tale of Aladdin. Love, magic, mayhem, and flying carpet rides and songs from the Academy Award-winning score, including ‘Friend Like Me’ and ‘A Whole New World’ Aladdin delighted audiences with beautiful singing, great acting, and outstanding dancing choreographed by our talented Year 12 students

In the story, Princess Jasmine does not want to marry any of her suitors. She escapes from the royal palace and meets Aladdin, a charismatic street urchin. The dastardly magician Jafar does everything in his power to thwart their love, but his greed for power proves to be his undoing. Aladdin’s wins the day with a cunning plan and a little help from his friend, Genie.

Our production of Seussical Jr in 2013 was a fantastical musical extravaganza that delighted audiences. Our Prep students did a superb job bringing the wild and energetic imagination of Dr Seuss to the stage.

The story, narrated by the Cat in the Hat, tells how Horton the Elephant discovers a tiny people called the Whos living on a speck of dust. This creates a double challenge for Horton — not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, he must do so while hatching an egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and more but he eventually succeeds in both challenges, thanks in part to the unwavering support of his secret admirer, Gertrude McFuzz.

In 2011, High School Musical showcased the talent of our Year 7–8 students, with the entire Prep school taking to the stage. The lead actors and the supporting cast excelled in this contemporary musical with its famous songs, such as “Wildcat Cheer,” “Getcha Head in The Game,” and, “We’re All In This Together.”

In Disney’s High School Musical, a group of teenagers discover their true identities as they build relationships, explore new interests and learn to deal with other’s expectations of them.
