Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, and all of your favourite Dr. Seuss characters spring to life onstage in Seussical Jr., a fantastical musical extravaganza. The Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos. Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers and he must guard an abandoned egg that's been left in his care. Although Horton faces many challenges, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!
Music by Stephen Flaherty, Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, Book by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, Co-Conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty and Eric Idle. Based on the works of Dr. Seuss. By Arrangement with Hal Leonard Australia Pty Ltd Exclusive agent for Music Theatre International (NY)

We would love to see you there, so please buy your tickets and invite family and friends!

Cultural Festival
Congratulations to our fabulous Kapa Haka group and our Pasifika group who performed at the Cultural festival last Wednesday.  Watching the video, I felt so proud of you all - you looked and sounded amazing!  You can see the video here.

Ski Trip
Unfortunately, as you know,  our ski trip was cancelled last Monday.  We are waiting to hear from Mt Hutt if they can book us in for another day.  As soon as we hear, we will let you know.
