Prep/1 School Concert Stories

CPS Concert: Here / There Project

The Here/There Project was a huge success. The story and characters were all created by the children with assistance from the shows director and professional puppet maker. There was a lot of school community assistance with voices and music for the soundtrack, and help with the puppet making.A gigantic thank you to everyone that helped, and also to everyone for coming to see the childrens hard work come to fruition.
We hope you enjoyed it.
