Totara has a long history with performing whole school musicals, from the time it was Dannevirke Christian School to the present.  Every four years, on the even year, a musical is produced with all students in Years 1 - 10 involved.  The students in Years 11 - 13 have the option of also being included.  “It’s Hot in the Furnace”,  “The Rainbow Boat”,  “The Music Machine”,  and “The Gospel Show” are just a few that have been performed.


Along with gaining new or more skills in drama and music, students are also given opportunities to be involved in the production with sound, costumes, sets etc. Being involved in a musical also enables the students to use all the key competencies (managing self, participating and contributing, relating to others, thinking and using language, symbols and texts).


In the past few years the performances have been put on at The Hub and have been well attended by the public.  The students have fond memories of the shows they have performed in and many are looking forward to their next adventure into musical theatre in 2018.
