Participating in the school play or musical isn't just fun - it can offer a great chance for children to practice a range of skills. Every second year St Saviour's Primary School participates in a school musical in conjunction with St Saviour's College. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to not only participate in a musical but also develop strong bonds of friendship and collaboration with the older students at the College.
