Students from St John the Baptist School at Woy Woy gave their first end-of-year school concert in three years on December 6 after COVID-19 put a hold on activities.
Pirates of the Curry Bean, presented at St Edward’s College, East Gosford, was a musical journey through magical and dancing seas, with dramatic clashes between pirates and sailors.
Every student at the school participated in the show, which was introduced with Christmas carols by the school choir and a performance by the award-winning school concert band.
Member for Robertson Gordon Reid was in the audience and said the performance declaring was a great success, bringing the entire school community together.
Principal Nicole Davies was full of pride and gratitude.
“What we have achieved as a team is truly amazing,” she said.
“Every person in our school community should be very proud.
“And we are incredibly grateful for all the hard work that the students, staff and parents have put in throughout this term to bring about this brilliant evening.”
There were constant reminders throughout the evening as to why events like this are so important, to inspire children to be the best they can be.
Students paid tribute to music and drama teacher, Kerryn Cooper.
“Thanks so much Mrs Cooper; you are the greatest music teacher we have ever had and we appreciate everything you have done tonight,” one said.
