Our Year 6 students were VERY excited to gather this morning for the 'big reveal' to learn which musical production they will produce as part of their year-long music project at Matthew Flinders Anglican College.
At the beginning of each year, Flinders Head of Music (Primary) Mrs Lenora Phillips provides cryptic clues for our Year 6 students to problem solve and guess the musical they will present as a cohort over an intensive six-month production journey.
This year, Mrs Phillip's image clues included books, a brain, an elephant, an egg, a cat, a hat…you guessed it, Flinders Primary is putting on a Seussical Musical!
Children and adults alike love the stories of Dr. Seuss; we have grown up with these loveable and quirky characters entertaining and inspiring us with their life lessons.
Now the Flinders Year 6 cohort will get to put their unique spin on it with the Flinders Seussical Jr production presented in Term 3 on Wednesday, 31 August and Thursday, 1 September in our Flinders Performance Centre.
Auditions will be held in Week 6, Term 1, with all Year 6 students participating in a singing and acting audition during their Music Lesson class time.
The annual production is a positive and rewarding journey which aims to encourage every child to find their talents, step beyond their comfort zone, and build confidence and skills.
Year 6 productions at Flinders also enable students to build strong bonds in their final year of Primary School before transitioning together to Flinders Secondary School in Year 7.
Just remember…
"You have brains in your head
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go. - Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Suess
You can learn about the fun our Year 6 students had last year when they presented The Little Mermaid Jr in 2022. Read more here.
