Grade 00 & 0 Shine in Once Upon a Pond

Our Grade 00 and 0 girls recently captivated their audience with a delightful performance of Once Upon a Pond. Every scene was filled with heart and dedication, showcasing the effort they’ve put in over the past weeks. The girls brought the story to life with charm and confidence, and the pride in the room was unmistakable as parents watched their little ones shine on stage. Well done to our young performers and a big thank you to everyone who supported them on their journey!

Foundation Phase Production: The Velveteen Rabbit

We are thrilled to invite all Grade 1-3 families to our upcoming production of The Velveteen Rabbit, a heartwarming story brought to life by your daughters. Join us for an evening filled with imagination, joy, and a dash of magic as our students showcase their talents in this cherished classic, adapted and directed by our very own Mrs G!

Performance Details:

  • Parents’ Evening Performance: Thursday, 21 November, 6:00 pm
  • Special Grandparents’ Morning Performance: Friday, 22 November, 9:00 am (with a tea afterwards)

Tickets are free and seating is unreserved, and we welcome everyone to come and enjoy the show. For those who feel inspired to support our school further, we will have a SnapScan code available for donations, with all contributions going toward our Micklefield pool fund.

We look forward to celebrating the girls’ hard work together and making memories that will last a lifetime.
