How to be a Hero

It was the first day at Hero High for the new students, and they were pretty nervous, particularly since the older students were so confident in their powers. But when a team of villains took over the school, the new students realised everyone had something important to offer.

Aspire went on tour last week to the Upper Hunter and created a show with 98 students representing every school in that region. Students worked with Aspire Specialists to rehearse and produce the original script ‘How to Be a Hero’ written with input from talented writers from St James, Muswellbrook, St Joseph’s, Merriwa and St Mary’s, Scone.

Students signed up for ensembles in Drama, Instrumental, Visual Art or Vocal as they worked together on their separate elements of the production before putting it all together at the dress rehearsal on the Wednesday.

Across two performances students wowed the large audiences with their talents and hard work. A massive thanks to St Joseph’s, Aberdeen for hosting the event and allowing the use of their school hall for the performance.  To put on a show in just a few days is a pretty amazing accomplishment, the students should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved. Aspire hopes that this project will be an annual opportunity for interested students in the region.
