Expressive Arts

The 12th – 15th of February saw the culmination of months of hard work from a multi-talented cast and crew at St Wilfrid’s. The Expressive Arts students wowed a packed audience taking them on a fun filled, divine, musical comedy adventure with Deloris Van Cartier, a woman placed in witness protection in a convent!

The positive feedback received from members of the public was overwhelming, some stating it was the best production they had seen at St Wilfrid's Catholic High School. Thank you to all of the students and staff involved. It would not have been possible without the time and effort that you gave us and thank for your support with the productions.
