Programmes for All Age Groups
Musical Centre Stage
In Musical Centre Stage, pupils will participate in recordings and performances at the end of the semester.

The teacher will assign roles, lines and musical pieces based on each pupil's individual abilities and learning progress. This semester we will perform:“ Moana” adaptation.
"Moana" is adapted from an American animated film. The story is set 2,000 years ago and follows Moana, who comes from a seafaring family. She embarks on an adventurous journey to find a legendary island and along the way meets the demigod Maui. Together, they encounter enormous sea creatures, breathtaking darkness and ancient lore.
