This term, the Snowy Shed stage at Snowy Mountains Grammar School was transformed into the chaotic and comical world of Sherwood Forest as our Junior School students brought Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies to life.

Written by best-selling author Craig Hawes, this toe-tickling tale reimagines the legend of Robin Hood with outrageous humour, medieval mayhem, and a musical score packed with catchy, show-stopping songs. When the evil Sheriff of Nottingham threatens the villagers, it is up to Maid Marion and her unlikely band of misfit heroes to save the day, with tights, fights, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Under the creative direction of Miss Keeley Pernice, our students poured their energy, talent, and teamwork into every scene and song. From early auditions to the final curtain call, they embraced this production with courage, creativity, and joy. Along the way, they learnt not only how to perform but also how to collaborate, problem-solve, and tell a story together.

“This show has been a joy to bring to life with its mix of cheeky humour, fast-paced action, and heartfelt moments,” said Miss Pernice. “Our students have shown spirit, resilience, and an incredible sense of fun. It has been a privilege to watch them grow in confidence and discover the magic of live performance.”

For many students, this was their first time on stage. For others, it marked a new chapter in their creative journey. For all involved, it was a shared experience filled with growth, laughter, and celebration.

Mrs Kimberley Whitehead, Head of Junior School, shared her pride in the production and the learning community behind it.

“Productions like this are a celebration of so much more than performance,” she said. “They reflect the spirit of our learning community, where courage, collaboration and curiosity come to life. Watching our students shine on stage and seeing the joy in their eyes has been truly inspiring.”

Our heartfelt thanks go to the many staff who supported the show behind the scenes, and to the families who cheered from the sidelines throughout the rehearsal process. Your support makes opportunities like this possible.

Whether it was your first time in the audience or one of many, thank you for joining us on this light-hearted journey through Sherwood Forest. We hope you left with a smile on your face, a song in your heart, and perhaps a newfound appreciation for tights.
