Our Years 3–5 students lit up the stage in their production of The Jungle Book, and what a performance it was! The show not only showcased the wonderful talent of our young performers but also gave every student the chance to shine in their own way. 

Productions like this are about so much more than what happens under the lights. Throughout the process, students developed performance skills, collaborated with peers, solved problems, and embraced new and often challenging opportunities. For many, it meant stepping outside their comfort zone, overcoming fears, and discovering what they were capable of — all while having plenty of fun along the way.

The result was a vibrant and joyful performance that left the audience smiling, proud and humming those timeless favourites like ‘The Bare Necessities’ and ‘I Wan’na Be Like You’. Most importantly, it was a truly positive experience for our students, who walked away with new skills, stronger friendships, and a sense of achievement.

This wonderful production would not have been possible without the creative direction and choreography of Charlie Cantoni-Bud, the wonderful music direction of Nissim Ben-Salamon and the magnificent costumes of Zoe Arnott, and the ongoing support and guidance of our dedicated classroom teachers Awatif Davies, Emma Furman, Romy Lipson, Irene Nagle, Gideon Sharp and Taryn Stark.

Well done to all involved!
