The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting is finally here. We are thrilled to announce that the secondary school production 2024 will be "The Addams Family."
Brace yourselves for a darkly delightful, hilarious, and utterly unforgettable experience as Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, and the rest of the kooky clan come to life on stage. The story revolves around the eccentric Gomez and Morticia Addams, who face an unexpected challenge when their daughter, Wednesday, falls in love with a "normal" boy. As the two families come together for a dinner party filled with secrets, mysteries, and hilarious antics, chaos ensues, and love is put to the test. With catchy songs, witty humor, and a touch of the supernatural, this musical explores themes of acceptance, family, and what it truly means to be "normal" in a delightfully eerie and entertaining way. The Addams Family musical is a spooky and fun-filled experience that is sure to entertain and enchant audiences of all ages.
Auditions will be open to anyone in Y7-Y13. More details can be found in the learner bulletin in the coming weeks.
The school will be holding options evenings for the International Baccalaureate Diploma and Courses Programme (IBDP) and the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE programme). These will be face to face sessions on campus where parents, guardians and learners will be given an overview of the programmes and the subjects available. Please join us to learn more about how parents and guardians can help with subject selections. There will be an opportunity to discuss subjects with our subject specialist teachers and learners studying the subjects. More details will be released in the coming weeks.
