CAST

Morgan played by Leila

Hi I’m Leila, I’m 11 years old and my favourite things to do are hanging out with my friends, making fashion accessories and clothes. I play Morgan by the way, Morgan is an amazing and very challenging character to play. Because Morgan is so full of herself you just have to shut off what you should be doing and play the character. So that's me in a nutshell.

Jessie played by Stella

Hi! I'm Stella and I’m 10 years old. My hobbies are playing soccer, running and pretty much anything to do with sport. In the production I will be playing Jessie, I will have a twin called Josie (Milly) and we share the part. Jessie is bossy and thinks she knows everything, she loves to sass people. I wanted to play the part of Jessie because I think I am generally a bossy person and they seem like a fun character to play.

Jessie played by Milly

Hi! I’m Milly and next January I turn eleven. I play soccer in the winter and basketball in the summer, and I’ve played piano since I was eight! I will share the part of Jessie with Stella in our school production this August.

Hi! I’m Billie and I am 11 years old, I share the part of Charlie with Eve. Charlie is a prankster and a bit of a joker, I have a twin who is Eve, but instead of calling Eve Charlie we will be caller her Charlotte. I wanted to be Charlie because I thought that I would really suit that character because I am really loud and I joke around a lot. I love to play soccer and I love going to the beach with friends and family, I have a beach house down at Phillip Island. I hope you got to know a bit about me. Bye!

I will be acting as a random student (Barb) in the school production but I’m really excited because I get to be one of the people who introduce Birdz and Fred Leone!

5JK Song

It Was the Best

Written by:

Valerie Volakos

Lily Gregorevic

Drums:

Xander Feo

It was educational I learnt so many things

We surfed upon the crocodiles, it felt like I had wings

The bugs were kind of scary

But we ate like kings!

It was the best

The ocean glistened in the sun.....we ate a lot of cake!

How about that rumour of a monster in the lake

I fell in that lake!

That was your mistake

It was the best

My favourite was the desert the sunsets were extreme

We woke up in the morning and the world just seemed to gleam

I loved the bus sing-a-long

I got so sick of that song!!!
