On Thursday the 16th of May our production students headed to Warra Gnan Coastal Camp in Warrnambool for a two-day rehearsal intensive. This unique experience brought together our talented students and dedicated staff for an unforgettable experience in the world of musical theatre as we rehearsed our production of Alice by Heart.

The camp kicked off with a warm welcome from the staff at Warra Gnan who introduced us to our cosy accommodation in the beautiful coastal surroundings of Warrnambool. After lunch, students dove straight into rehearsals learning vocal parts, polishing choreography and finalising blocking for the first half of the show.

The day concluded with our annual trivia dress-up extravaganza run by our amazing year 12 team - Neve Whittaker, Lily West, Lillian Stoel, Addison Kemp, Jasmine Van Der Meulen, Elliot Tenney and James Elliott.

The second day was all about bringing the first half of our production to life. The collaborative spirit was palpable, as everyone contributed their talent and energy to our very first run through of the first half of the show. It was exciting to see our hard work pay off as we saw the scenes coming together.

The Warra Gnan Coastal Camp proved to be the perfect setting for this enriching experience, offering a blend of natural beauty and excellent facilities. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the camp staff who made this event extra special. Thank you also to ex-students Harry Jones (2023), Lachlan Roncon (2023) and Caden Thorpe (2022) who attended and supported our students across the production camp.

This is now the production camp's fourth year. We are excited to continue the ongoing success of this camp as we nurture the creative talents of our students, providing them opportunities that inspire and empower them. Thank you to our staff members, Lauren Albrecht, Jamie Long and Andrew Mcconchie who made camp possible for our students.
