A Night to Remember: Matilda Jr the Musical at TCA

Our production of Matilda Jr the Musical was nothing short of spectacular—a true celebration of talent, teamwork, and determination across our school community.

From the very first rehearsal to the final curtain call, students demonstrated an extraordinary level of commitment. The hard work that went into this production was evident in every scene, song, and moment on stage. Their teamwork and dedication were second to none, and the result was an unforgettable evening that left the audience inspired and immensely proud.

What made this production even more special was the remarkable student leadership throughout. From costumes and props to lighting and sound, students took the lead, showcasing not only their creativity but also their responsibility and collaboration skills. This sense of ownership brought the entire show to life in a truly unique way.

Guided by the expertise and passion of Mrs Waldron, Miss Wrighton, and our music teacher Mr Laurent, the cast and crew delivered a performance that will be remembered for years to come. Together, they created an atmosphere full of energy, heart, and joy—capturing perfectly the spirit of the iconic line: “Even if you’re little, you can do a lot.” Our students proved exactly that.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our wider community—parents, carers, staff, and students—for your continued support. Your encouragement and enthusiasm played a vital role in making this production such a success.

A special mention must go to our Year 11 students, who balanced the demands of rehearsals alongside their revision. Many of them have been part of our school productions since Year 7, and it has been a privilege to watch them grow in confidence and talent over the years. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you.

This production truly highlighted the exceptional talent within our school, and it set an incredibly high standard for the future. We are already looking forward to next year’s show—though it will certainly be a challenge to top such a superb performance!

Well done to everyone involved for making it such a memorable and magical evening at TCA.
