Panto Pandemonium - Reviewed by Anise Maclean


The excellent pantomime was performed in the school hall on a stage that arrived just in time. The audience enjoyed the whole thing start to finish and were very good at joining in the song “Panto Pandemonium”. The characters that the crowd most laughed at were Magnolia (Estelle Gellatly) and Rose Red (Tru Bowie) also Apple White (Taylor Doran)  and their hilarious song called “Its Gotta Be” that the stepsisters sang the song with a lot of expression
Each class reformed an excellent dance and song but one of the best dances was room 16 with an energetic dance called “Kung Fu Fighting” and a fantastic song by room 14 called “She’s a Mod”
The make-up on the main characters and classes was excellent, whether spooky or beautiful, it all looked great.
But in the end the children saved the day and the fairy’s got their magic. The pantomime was a great family entertainment and enjoyment.

What is Advent?

Have you wondered why you have an Advent calendar and why you open one each day?  If so find out more about Advent by clicking on the Advent wreath and the Advent Calendar.

Online Advent Calendar

On each day in December 2014, test your knowledge on how Christmas is celebrated around the world, using our very own interactive advent calendar. Most of the facts and photos in the advent calendar below have been sent in by schools and visitors around the world. No peeking before the correct day.

Secret Santa

Room's 15 and 16 are doing a 'Secret Santa ' leading up to Christmas.  The children initiated this idea.  Please let us know if you do not want your child to take part.  

 Each student will be asked to bring a small gift (home-made or costing no more than $7) for either a girl or a boy.

The gifts will need to be wrapped and labelled (boy/girl), then placed under the tree in Room 16 by Friday 12th December 2014.  

Secret Santa is a Western Christmas tradition in which members of a group or community are randomly assigned a person to whom they anonymously give a gift. The participation in it is usually voluntary.
