School musical

Cast of Matilda on stage

Winmalee High School has become renowned in the community for its highly successful school musicals.

It is a much-anticipated event in the school's calendar every second year. Audiences travel from as far as Sydney and beyond to experience the magic and wonder of our productions. Winmalee has been presenting musicals since the school began, with the early ones being written and composed by the staff and students.

Four lead characters in The Addams Family musical

Over the years we have presented Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story, Grease, Les Miserables, Into The Woods, Seussical, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, The Addams Family, The Little Shop of Horrors, The Wizard of Oz and the most recent being Matilda the Musical.

Over the years, the choice and production values have grown to an impressive standard. The quality of the costumes, sound, lighting and set design as well as the talent of the students are regularly commented upon by members of the community at large. The success of the Musical is due to the collaborative production team which generally consists of up to 15 staff across every faculty in the school.

The success of the Musical is due to the collaborative production team which generally consists of up to 15 staff across every faculty in the school.

More than 100 students take part being a member of the cast, orchestra or crew and it is supported by not only the school community but the wider community as a whole. Students have the opportunity to develop long-lasting friendships across a number of year groups and engage their creative, artistic and organisational skills in acting, singing, dancing, orchestra, lighting, sound, costume, makeup, set painting and front of house.

Each year, one of the highlights for the performers is the matinee show for the local primary schools. Hundreds of students from Springwood, Ellison and Winmalee Public schools enjoy the show and enthusiastically participate in a meet and greet of the cast afterwards.

All students who are involved in the musical thoroughly enjoy the experience with most citing it as one their best and most rewarding experiences during their time at High School.

We would like to welcome you to the Dharug and Gundungurra land on which our school resides, acknowledging that though the surrounding environment has changed over time, the spiritual connection between the land and indigenous peoples remains. We would like to thank all those who gather and respect this connection. We would also like to pay our respects to elders both past and present and extend that respect to those with indigenous heritage within our school community. (Troy Zoernleib – Vice Captain 2022)
