COLLEGE PRODUCTION
THE WIZARD OF OZ

Our College Production of 'The Wizard of Oz' finished it's hugely successful run on Friday 30th August.

From the gorgeous, colourful costumes to the brilliant, perfectly lit sets, well-timed humour, incredible dance skills, charming performances, beautiful singing, stunning makeup, quick thinking mic fixes and the fastest set changes from our tremendous cast and crew - the production was a triumph for all involved.

A huge thanks to Ms Lentini and her fabulous production team - and, of course, our wonderful students, who have made this year's production a tough one to beat!

INDIGENOUS ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

Our Indigenous Artist in Residence, Sam Richards, has been working with our students all year, educating them on the traditional Wurundjeri symbols, telling Creation and Dreamtime stories, providing insightful information on Indigenous culture, including sharing her extensive knowledge of Indigenous flora. Samantha has also been teaching weaving and woodwork practices, as well as how to produce Indigenous digital art using Procreate. Our students have been thrilled to learn all of these exceptional skills.

TESTIMONIALS

"We would like to commend Pakenham Secondary on what has been a more than successful transition year with our daughter.

On the back of two years of remote learning in lockdowns, our daughter transitioned into Year 7. Like any parents we had our concerns and expectations.

These concerns were very quickly put to rest as we saw the great connections develop with Teachers, Leadership Teams and fellow students.

Our daughter has gone from strength to strength this year, her improvement in Mathematics has been exceptional and her social confidence has blossomed. The opportunities that have been afforded to her through the Enhancement Program has been wonderful and we are pleased she will continue in this program in Year 8.

The school's academia goals and social connectedness is very apparent in their actions, communications and ethos.

We look forward to next year, and our son enrolling in a couple of years."
