Dates have been set, the venue has been booked and casting for the lead roles has already taken place!
Vegemania! is a whole school production that will involve the performance of many talented Gr 5 and 6 children in lead roles, accompanied by the school choirs and grades performing special themed songs.
There will be two perfomances - Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September. Both nights will be held at the Careforce Church in Mt Evelyn.

Any parents, grandparents or special friends of the school are welcome to assist with the production. If you have skills to offer in the areas of props and costumes or even if you are able to help with building sets, please see Mr Fox or your child's classroom teacher. All busy hands will be welcome!
