Dear Parents and Guardians

We’re , the wonderful Wizard of Odd!

Yes, you read that correctly…we are off to meet the Wizard of ‘Odd’, not the Wizard of ‘’. 2019 marks the 80th anniversary of the and to celebrate this, the team that brought you Melted: A Musical has once again collaborated to bring you The Wizard of Odd, a pantomime written by Claire Demmer.

The Wizard of Odd is originally set in London but the creative genius of Ms Elise Batchelor has given the pantomime a unique Pilbara feel, from the landscape to the reference of iconic Hedland events, landmarks and people.

The Wizard of Odd will be performed on Friday 09 and Saturday 10 August at the Matt Dann Theatre but as students from all our primary schools are involved in the performance, we are inviting schools to attend a special matinee performance on Friday 09 August. Students are invited to join , Koko, Iron Ore Man, and Lion as they embark on a journey to the to meet ‘’. Along the way, they will meet some unique and colourful characters such as the Dame, the Witch of Wedgefield, and…well, you will just have to join us to find out who else!

The matinee performance is being held at Matt Dann Theatre on Friday 09 August, beginning at 11:00am. Tickets for this special schools only performance will cost $10.00. As we will be hiring a bus through Trans Hedland to transport students to the theatre, there will be an additional cost of $3.00 to cover bus hire, bringing the total cost for students to attend the special matinee performance to $13.00.

If you would like your child to take part in this exciting event, please log on to your Flexischool account to complete permission and payment by 3:00pm Wednesday 07 August. (We will advise via SMS when Flexischools is open for this event.) As we will need to confirm bus hire, tickets and staffing prior to the event, we will not be able to accept any payments after the closing date and time.

Yours sincerely
