On the 20th of June, Greengates School was transformed into a magical world for a stunning show presented by the Drama Club and the school orchestra. This performance was a brilliant showcase of the school's burgeoning performing arts programme, driven by our partnership with Juilliard.
The enthusiasm and hard work of the children was evident, with each character in the play masterfully characterised. From Alice's curious journey to the Mad Hatter's whimsical tea party, each scene was brought to life with vibrant energy and creativity.
The whole Greengates community came together to make this show a reality. Creative directors, musical directors, parents, teachers, students and maintenance staff all played a vital role in its success. The dedication and co-operation of everyone involved was truly inspiring and highlighted the strong sense of community and teamwork at Greengates.
This enchanting performance of Alice in Wonderland not only entertained but also demonstrated the incredible talents and potential of our primary school children.
At Greengates, we are committed to creating an environment where every child feels valued and respected. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a vibrant community of families, united by the belief that our diversity is a source of strength and something to be celebrated.
As Educators, we are continuously striving to improve practice and one of the most effective ways that we can do this is through collaboration with others in our profession. This October, we had seven teachers visit Greengates from the British School, Rio to observe the teaching and learning in the primary school. The visit came as a result of a recommendation from our accreditation body, the International Curriculum Association (ICA), who have recognised Greengates Primary as a school of best practice.
Last week, our Performing Arts teachers, Victor Lopez (Drama) and Hadiya Morris (Music and Drama), attended a regional Americas course in Panama focused on the Juilliard K-12 Curriculum.
