Bear Hunt was a big finish!
Jul 01, 2017
Another 1000 kids went to see "We're Going On A Bear Hunt" yesterday, at the Clocktower Centre on the last day of Term 2.
The image above is of the ordered parade of 165 kids/teachers and parents from St Paul's, Keabla, going to the theatre. Booking teacher, Tina, was working hard, directing traffic. She had raced to the head of the column by the time i took out my camera. It's so satisfying to know she thought all the effort worthwhile. This is what she said
"The show was fabulous! Teachers and students absolutely loved it and it was great to have the resources prior to today's performance, so that we could sing with the children and practice the actions...Thanks to you, your staff and the performers. A fantastic way to end the term." Tina Segulin
Thanks to you, Tina, and all the other teachers who went out of their way to organise a great experience for their students. Melbournians can still catch production in Frankston in the holidays, before it heads to Sydney and on to Brisbane
