PUPILS of Court Fields School, Wellington, delivered two outstanding performances of their production of ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’ which left their audiences spellbound.

The performances took place on Wednesday and Thursday, March 20 and 21, and followed six months of dedicated rehearsals for 48 of the school’s talented students who took part.

The production of the classic C.S. Lewis children’s fantasy story marked a significant milestone for Court Fields, as it was the first show that the school had been able to produce in the past five years.

And the enthusiasm and commitment of the students, along with the tremendous support from staff of the school, parents, family, friends, and the local community, made the event truly special.

A school spokesperson told the Wellington Weekly: “We are incredibly grateful for the assistance we received from the Wellington Arts Association and supporters from even further afield, whose generosity and involvement helped bring our vision to life on stage.

“Additionally, we were overwhelmed by the generosity of our audience, who made numerous donations during the performances.

“These contributions will go a long way in helping us enhance our next production and continue to provide enriching experiences for our students.

“The hard work and dedication of everybody involved truly paid off, and we could not be prouder of our students for their exceptional performances.

“Their talent, passion, and teamwork shone brightly throughout both shows, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to everybody who contributed to making our production of ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’ a resounding success.

“It was a remarkable journey, and we are already looking forward to our next theatrical endeavour.

“Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for the arts in our community.”
