Ivanhoe Grammar School pupils will be going on a journey down the rabbit hole this Thursday in their performance of Alice in Wonderland Jr.
Pupils from the school’s Plenty campus have been preparing for the show since last October.
Campus head of primary, Darren Gibson, said all pupils have a role in the performance.
“This helps them to grow in confidence and courage as they perform in front of an audience,” he said.
“Our main cast members are from years 4-6. All other children make up the chorus.
“Each class performs songs on stage along with the main characters, creating wonderful cross-age learning and performing opportunities.”
Mr Gibson said the school community had helped pupils prepare for the production, with parents and grandparents helping to design and create costumes, sets and props.
“There have been countless meetings, working bees and individual efforts that will continue right up to the performance date,” he said.
“These events really bring our community together.”
Alice in Wonderland Jr is at the Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre, Ferres Boulevard, South Morang on Thursday.
