Programme Blurb

Dance for Disney
Oroua Downs School Production 2008

We have been focussing on Inquiry learning this year as part of our ICT PD cluster.
This term we tried something quite unique, something quite scary, but something we knew that our wonderful children could handle.
We investigated components that it takes to “make an entertaining show”, children followed the inquiry process to discover this information. We had a fantastic whole school presentation afternoon, which showcased the excellent effort that everyone had put in.
We then broke into house group and selected the character groups that we wanted to be, organised our costumes, created our dances, decided who was going to have the speaking roles, what props we needed, the backdrops, designed the programme, the advertising, the tickets, found a stage manager, had MC auditions, organised out ICT crew, gathered our stage hands, a huge effort from each and everyone of our dedicated students.
Tonights show is owned by your children, they created it, practised in, and are going to put on an amazing performance for you. We know you will enjoy it!
I totally take my hat off to all of the cast in this production and the wonderful staff for their commitment and support throughout the process.

What is it all about you may ask…
This production is about learning how to accept each other for who you are and working together towards a common goal.
It is about people being who they want to be and developing the courage to be confident and assertive.
You will giggle, you may be shocked, hopefully you wont cry but we know you will be entertained.
Please celebrate your childrens success with us, and allow for any hiccups we may experiences, sit back and enjoy.
We thank you for you support throughout this process.
