Musical finishes on high note

Pretty Beach Public School finished its performances of the Uncle Crumble's Mad Machine musical with glowing reports from principal Ms Deborah Callender.

Ms Callender said the musical provided a great opportunity to showcase the talents of the students.

She three mothers took the roles of musical director, costume design and props manager.

"Their commitment, dedication, enthusiasm and love of music and creative arts has certainly been evident during our musical performances," said Ms Callender.

She said staff and other parents helped with photography, sound, lighting, designing, painting and assembling props, setting up the stage for each scene, designing and sewing costumes, helping with makeup and hair, transporting equipment, developing dance routines, teaching drama skills, and working as stage managers, canteen helpers and behind-the-scenes helpers.

"The teachers have been so supportive and flexible during the last two terms and they were very proud of their students' performance.

"It is wonderful to have such great parent and community support," she said.
