THE VALUE OF HARD WORK

JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH

It was an absolute pleasure to witness our talented Middle School students perform in our Middle School Production, James and the Giant Peach.

It was clear to all in the audience that the chemistry and support witnessed on stage did not happen by chance. Our cast and crew worked tirelessly, from March to the performances in May. They dedicated countless hours after school, on weekends, and even during the Term One break to bring the production to life. Throughout this journey, they grew significantly, both individually and as a team. They regularly challenged one another, expressed their creativity, and shared many highs and lows together.

Their hard work culminated in the joy of performing several wonderful sessions over three days, creating what can only be described as a “Middle School Production family”. This Production family, strengthened by the unwavering support of our caring staff and senior student leaders, participated in an experience they will cherish forever. The camaraderie and sense of belonging they developed are testaments to their dedication and passion.

Our cast and crew of James and the Giant Peach have been an inspiration to us all, especially during what is always a busy start to the year.

They have shown us the value of hard work, staying connected, and looking out for one another. Their journey and the resulting performances remind us of the importance of engaging in one’s passions, community connectedness and perseverance.

On behalf of the Scotch Oakburn College community, I extend our heartfelt thanks and applause to everyone involved in this year’s Middle School Production. You not only entertained us but also demonstrated the true spirit of collaboration and support.

Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
