Our senior students recently went on an exciting EOTC trip to Nelson to catch a performance of High School Musical at the Theatre Royal, performed by the talented Nelson Youth Theatre Company.

It was a fantastic experience for everyone, and our students loved seeing the story brought to life on stage. The incredible hard work and energy of the performers really shone through.

Might have to make this kind of trip a regular as everyone is already asking when we can go to the next show.
