'Oh Deer!' Musical

Once again another outstanding performance by our students of our latest musical extravaganza written by Narelle Jones.

The musical is mainly based on Indonesian folktales about Kancil a mouse deer. While he is actually a small timid animal in these stories he manages to outwit animals much larger and more dangerous than himself. In the final scene Year 5/6 enact a traditional Javanese folktale. A more detailed description of each classes scenes follow separately.

Kancil and the Crocodiles performed by Year 2

When Kancil comes to the river he wants cross he finds it is infested with crocodiles.
