🎭 Thank you Hume Public School! 🎭

For the past two terms, Ms Gifford & Ms Elford have been working with the Year 5/6 students at Hume Public School, as part of our primary school engagement (PEP) program, in Drama & Dance. They were assisted by a wonderful team of Year 9/10 CAPA students.

This Wednesday, it all came together.

The students performed their pieces as part of the School Showcase, a creative and performing arts celebration featuring every class in the school. Watching them share their work with their whole school community was just incredible.

We are so proud of every single one of them. Thank you to Hume Public School for having us, for engaging so fully, and for sharing your creativity with us all.

We can't wait to see what these young performers do next! 🌟
