Thank you

A Big Thank You!!

Our Performing Arts Extravaganza is over for another two years.  Congratulations and well done to all our students who participated in the show.  You were very professional and displayed extreme confidence on stage.

I am sure you already know that a two hour show with this many cast members could not possibly be achieved without the assistance of many special people.

Thank you so very much to:

Arrowtown Scaffolding Ltd

Steve Ebsworth donated the personnel and resources to construct the magnificent stage.

Craig McIlroy Painters and Decorators Ltd

Craig, Tama and Eugene provided the amazing signage for the stage. The kids were blown away.

Moonlight Country

Geoffrey Clear for providing the blackout curtains around the hall.

Frith O’Hagan

Frith dedicated up to three hours each week to work with the “Dance Troop’ dancers during term 2 and more leading up to the show in term 3.  They were certainly a hit on the night.

Tracey Gieck

Tracy was the ‘behind the scenes’ coordinator who somehow managed in sometimes very stressful situations and with a calm and soothing voice via the school paging system, to ensure the performers were in the right places at the right times.  This job is certainly not an easy job to do and yet Tracy made it look so easy.  Thank you.

Jill Leydon

Jill was our stage 2 manager who took this task on not quite knowing what it entailed. I told her the job required someone who could stay calm under pressure….and the rest is history  as she fulfilled the position extremely well.  On top of that Jill also ensured the wearable arts costumes were on track for the show and organized a few parents to assist.  Thank you to  Jasmine Clark who came in to help the Jungle costume group also.

Steve Brundell

Steve blacked-out all the windows, set-up staging, collected and returned the hired seating, put up the black-out curtaining, packed-out the hall at the end of it and if that wasn’t enough he had to endure my every instruction as he manipulated the lightingboard during the shows. Thank you Steve. 

Sue Parnell
Sue made herself available to help in anyway possible everyday this term leading up to and during the week of the show.  We really appreciated her dedication to the cause.

Stevie West / Kathryn Bell / Chris Langston

These guys were our stagehands for the shows.  They ensured the kids were safely on and   off the stages, the instruments were tuned and props were where they needed to be for each act.  It was great to see ex-pupils Stevie and Kathryn offering support to their primary school.

TomTom Productions
The sound and lighting gear were supplied by TomTom Productions and Liam Martin was at the helm of the sound desk.  Liam is another ex-pupil of the school.

Margaret Young and Donna Fordyce (our ticketek team)
Margaret and Donna were in-charge of the ticket sales for the three shows which would have been straight forward had it not been for the nationwide snow storm.  The shows had to be postponed for a week which lead to the refunding and shuffling of tickets here, there and everywhere.  Due to the sell-out evening shows they also needed to add seating to accommodate the demand.  Thank you girls.



Thank you to all the parents who came into assist with make-up and hair, costumes, ushering and collecting tickets.

Finally, thank you to the Extravaganza Committee and staff for their support throughout the last three months to help make this show a success.
