THE FIVE ‘A’S

Too Much Noise! Primary Production Arts

Students from Grade 1, 2 and 3 staged two wonderful performances in early March. The musical Too Much Noise! is an adaptation of an Eastern European folktale about appreciation. It features a family who complains that their small house is too noisy. Wise villagers cleverly teach the family to be grateful for what they have, singing and dancing all the way.

A Conversation on Discrimination Active Citizenship In honour of Black History Month, Albert College invited Mourasia Duffus, Albert College parent and former member of the Board of Governors, to speak about discrimination with our Senior School students during a Chapel presentation. Drawing on personal experiences, she spoke of what discrimination is, how it feels and looks, and gave thoughtful strategies on how to stand up against racism.

Senior School Drama Production Arts After a two-year hiatus, the Senior School drama production, The Internet is Distract-OH LOOK, A KITTEN! by Ian McWethy, was a delight for audiences. This new-age technological comedy is a cheeky view of the distractions many face online. The production experience for the cast and crew is about more than just acting. The students rehearse for months in preparation, and they are involved in every aspect of the production. This includes stage management, marketing elements such as press releases, radio spots and poster design, as well as design elements such as hair, makeup and costuming, and technical elements such as sound, lighting and projection. Over 35 students from Grades 9 to 12 were involved. Congratulations to the cast and crew on a very successful run!
