Not one, but two epic school productions recently took place in Wodonga in front of packed theatre audiences. Performing Arts teacher Tracy Ross has been working overtime with students from St Augustine’s and St Francis of Assisi Primary Schools in Wodonga to present the well-known musicals, Suessical and The Jungle Book.
The first to take place was Suessical at The Albury Performing Arts Centre with the talented students from St Augustine’s Primary School taking centre stage.
