We are currently preparing for Christmas performances and are continuing to celebrate the success of our recent school musical ‘Grease’ which involved a lot of our Music Group members.
Ms Meally, Ms Adams and Ms. Rothwell are looking forward to working with the Music Group throughout the year and always welcome new members.
Musical
In November 2024 over 100 students took part in Grease The Musical for three consecutive nights to perform to sell-out crowds.
Students of all ages, the production crew and the school’s parents council pulled out all the stops to make the evening shows and a matinee for primary school students an experience to remember. Among the cast of the Rydell High crew were the fantastic Ashton Pender and Abbie Kelly, who gave it socks in the roles of Danny Zuko and Sandy Dumbrowski.
Students must be commended for their dedication during rehearsals and for their stellar performances.
