Wow! What can I say…. 

Principal Florence is SO PROUD of each and every one of our students for their two back-to-back performances of Alice’s Adventures on Saturday 20 July – they were absolutely fantastic! To have over 70 students in this production was amazing and it was so lovely to see every single student shine in their own individual way. We thoroughly enjoyed exposing our students to a very unique style of theatre, an experience that will be remembered.

Alice’s Adventures was an immersive theatre project, a unique audience experience like no other! In the show, the audience inhabits Wonderland and journeys through various rooms and locations where they meet many of the characters encountered by Alice in the original story. There is a place. Like no place on Earth. A land full of Wonder, Mystery and Danger – Lewis Carroll, 1895.
