What set this production apart was the remarkable involvement of students across multiple subjects. As an entirely in-house show, Aladdin’s Tale became a cross-curricular project.

Art teachers and students designed the colourful and imaginative set. Woodwork teachers and students constructed the staging and props. Whilst the Home Economics teachers and students contributed through costume design.

The production’s success was supported by a dedicated team of teachers who guided and encouraged the students throughout the process. These were headlined by Ms Fitzpatrick who served as the Musical Director, Drama Teacher Ms Swanepoel and Choreographer Ms O’Brien.
