Thank you to Danny Thomas who assisted our grades by choreographing and teaching the massed dance items for each year level. To those parents who volunteered their time to assist with costumes, a huge thank you. The production wouldn t be possible without all of this assistance. Finally, to all the children and staff of Berwick Primary School. This production was conceived, written and executed by a school community with a tremendous amount of support, care, vision and energy.
