We are thrilled to share that our 2025 Years 10-12 Musical, GREASE: The Musical, has been recognised by the Music Theatre Guild of Victoria as the most nominated/commended school production across the state. We are so proud of the incredible number of students acknowledged — particularly our ENSEMBLE, whose collective energy, precision, and passion brought Rydell High to life in spectacular fashion.
Productions of this scale take a village, and every element of GREASE was crafted with intricate care, collaboration, and creativity. From our extraordinary cast, crew, and orchestra to the designers, technicians, and staff behind the scenes, this recognition is a testament to what can be achieved when a community of artists work together with heart and clear purpose.
