Things are getting very exciting in Ollies as we count down the days until the first performance of our musical Oliver!

The community has really taken "Poor Wee Oliver" into their hearts.We have been inundated with offers from parents of past and present students, offering their time and talents to make costumes, paint sets, source props and get involved in fundraising events. Thank you all for your support!

This weekend saw the cast and teachers rehearsing intensively on Saturday (10 am- 4pm) in preparation for the first show which will be held next friday 19th for the junior school!

We also have, a great crew of pupils lined up to work behind the scenes. A number of 6th class pupils are painting the final scene of the show so watch out for their artistic efforts.Yet more will be busy backstage keeping everything running smoothly.

Tickets are completely sold out! Which will guarentee a full house each night.
