It has been another successful year for the Year 6 students who chose to belong to the Riverside Drama Club and perform in the 2024 Yoh Fest at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre.
These talented students co-wrote, edited, and performed a multi-layered drama piece entitled ‘The Pink Basketball’, based on the theme ‘Inclusion.’
The judges were touched with the sincerity, energy and humor the students displayed in their performance.
The plot tells the story of a popular and rich student, who lets himself and everyone else down, by excluding himself from a very important basketball match, all because the students wouldn’t use his birthday gift of a pink basketball. In the end, Archie realized the importance of including himself in all school and team activities, as he let his team down, his mum, who turned up unexpectedly for the match, and himself, as the team had to play with a pink basketball anyway.
Our lead player, and Head Boy, Isaac McNaughton, was able to attend Saturday’s presentation night, and collect the trophy on behalf of the Club and Riverside Primary School. It is being proudly displayed in the Administration Office for a short time.
A huge ‘Well Done’ to all the students who lived up to the ‘Act, Belong, Commit’ movement in our community.
We would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to all parents and staff who gave up their time and resources to make this happen for the students. We could not have had such a professional finish without your kind support.
And now to look forward to seeing what 2025 brings, with the new Yoh Fest theme entitled – ‘Colour my World – The world is a canvas; We are the art & we all bloom in different shades.”
