Festive Friday

This celebratory day will start with a Christmas Pantomime performed by visiting theatre company ‘Our of the Box’ who will bring to life the story of Cinderella and her ugly sisters in a performance packed with bags of audience participation, music and mayhem. Children will then be treated to a traditional Christmas lunch before enjoying some afternoon fun at our Prep Christmas party.

Children are welcome to come to school in their own clothes in return for a bottle (wine, spirit or soft drink), together with some chocolate for the tombola stalls which will form part of our ‘Christmas Social’.
