Our K-2 Students Lit Up the Stage in our Creative Arts Night ‘The Toy Box’

This week K-2 presented their Creative Arts Show called ‘The Toy Box’. I was truly proud of every child – for their confidence and showcasing their learning on the big stage!

I want to acknowledge Mrs Winsome Hollis, one of our Creative Arts Specialists in the Junior School, who put this show together from scratch. Her vision, dedication, and expertise brought this show to life. The entire production was executed with such a high level of professionalism—from the choreography and music to the lighting, staging, scripting and costumes. Mrs Hollis not only has the amazing ability to think big, but she can also capture every little detail. The show highlighted the students’ emerging abilities and gave them an unforgettable opportunity to perform onstage for you. Thank you for being an enthusiastic and supportive audience.

The children’s energy, enthusiasm, and courage were on full display for all to see. The joy on their faces— and on yours too! — made my heart alight as we witnessed children being nurtured in learning, wisdom and service at the College. Looking into the future, children greatly benefit from the skills that performing arts instil. It is more than a big, bright and fun event – it is a vital part of life learning that serves them into their futures. That’s why we provide a rich array of opportunities at Thomas Hassall. Because it is really is about their future.

I look forward to our other Creative Arts performances for Stage 2 and Stage 3 later in the year.
