Oaklands kicks off Christmas countdown

‘It was the night before Christmas and Jack is so excited thinking of Santa filling his stocking.  His mum comes in to read him a bedtime story and Jack gently falls asleep  … what dreams are in store for Jack on this very special Christmas Eve?’

Staff and pupils staged ‘A Magical Christmas Dream’ to a packed house at Oaklands School yesterday and the performance kicked off Christmas celebrations in fine style.  The audience was transported to a magical land where the cold weather outside was forgotten and the Disney song and dance routines would surely have warmed the heart of Scrooge himself!

From Nursery to Seniors, every child played their part in making ‘A Magical Christmas Dream’ a huge success and the show was the perfect start to Christmas celebrations, and Head Teacher Maureen Mathieson also gave a huge ‘thank you’ to the army of ‘Santa’s Little Helpers’ who made the event possible.  Take a bow:  Pilrig Park School, Rowanfield School, Simon Davidson (lighting), St. George’s School, Oaklands ensemble (Caroline, Jessica, Moira, Alison and Mr and Mrs. Frater) and all the Oaklands staff (with particular thanks to Angela, Susan, Laura, Dyanne, Dot, Sonia, Kausar and Sarah).  A Christmas show wouldn’t be complete without Santa, of course, so a special thank you to Hamish too!
