The Witches: A Showcase of Talent from Our Secondary Drama Students

Our Secondary Drama students recently captivated audiences with their outstanding performance of The Witches, an evening that beautifully reflected the creativity, discipline, and collaborative spirit that define our school community.

From the first rehearsals to the final curtain call, students approached the production with professionalism and dedication. They worked thoughtfully to develop their characters, refine their stage presence, and support one another as an ensemble. The result was a performance rich in energy, humour, and storytelling, a clear reflection of their hard work and growing confidence as young performers.

"The Witches follows a young boy and his grandmother as they discover that witches live among us, disguised as ordinary women and plotting to get rid of children altogether. When a stay at a British seaside hotel turns into a witches’ conference, things quickly go wrong, especially when the

boy is transformed into a mouse. What follows is a fast-paced story full of quick thinking,

courage and dark humour. 

Throughout rehearsals, we have placed a strong focus on ensemble work. Every cast member plays an important role in telling this story, whether as a central character or as part of the wider world on stage. This production relies on teamwork, trust and collective responsibility, and the cast has embraced this challenge with maturity and commitment - Ms Jane, Drama teacher
