Legally Blonde
Congratulations to everyone involved in the
musical. This annual event is truly a highlight of
our school year at Manly Campus. The musical
provides an opportunity to showcase the depth of
individual and collective talent of our students,
and brings together the community in a way that
needs to be seen to be understood. Thank you to
the many parents and alumni who provided such
valuable support, ensuring the production was a
huge success. Thank you to Annetta Verduyn who
coordinated a team of parents who created the
costumes, Marg Martin and Annie Woods who,
assisted by a group of parents, catered for the cast
and crew each night. Alumni Ben Mills, Michael
Goodyear, Keith Muir, Tom Coy and Yiming Teng
whose technical and production expertise ensured
the production was of such a high quality and to
our rehearsal assistants; Khika Withnell, Tara
Dunch, Talia Withnell, Maia Hopf and Neve
Morgan. Thank you also to Annie McCubbin, a
parent of an ex-student, who provided the drama
coaching for our students, taking their
performance to the next level.
This wonderful event would not be possible
without the passion, enthusiasm, expertise and
hard work of our talented teachers; Chloe
Woodward, Lucienne Herft and Lanneke Grace.

Merrill. The founder of Word Travels, Miles hails
from Chicago and introduced slam poetry to

Miles delivered a captivating series of spoken word

He also helped our Year 7 students to compose
their own spoken word poetry and encouraged
them to write about topics that matter most to

Visual Arts this semester.
Enjoy reading some
recent examples of
poetry from Ingsel Phelrabtsang and
Thomas Stevens (7Y). Students were tasked with
emulating the language of a poem, 'The Rider' by
Naomi Shihab Nye. Students had to reimagine a
motif, and recreate the same mood, tone, and
rhythm as the original poem. This skill
demonstrates students' ability to think
conceptually about a poem's thematic ideas, and
make deliberate stylistic choices to convey those
ideas.
