Primary school students in the Hills, especially at Kallista PS and Wattle View PS, have put in tremendous effort for their school productions.

Kallista Primary School enchanted audiences this term with their performance of ‘Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies’, a comedic twist on the classic Robin Hood story.

The production was full of memorable characters, smart dialogue, and lively songs, highlighting the students’ talents and encouraging teamwork and creativity.

Meanwhile, Wattle View Primary School will present Disney Pixar’s Finding Nemo JR. at the Round Theatre in Nunawading, with performances scheduled for 12.30pm and 7pm on Wednesday 30 October.

This vibrant musical follows the adventurous journey of clownfish Nemo and his father, Marlin, and features beloved characters like Dory and Crush.

With Year 5 and 6 students in lead roles, this production emphasizes themes of hope, resilience, and friendship, promising an unforgettable experience for all.

Wattle View Primary School’s Finding Nemo JR. is licensed exclusively by Music Theatre International (Australasia).
