Monaro High School hit the stage for the student performance of 'Puffs' on 18 and 19 June.
'Puffs, Or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic’ is a retelling of a famous wizarding story from the perspective of the members of the Hufflepuff house, also known as the ‘Puffs’.
A fantastic comedy, the production was very entertaining for the audience and students alike.
The talented students, from across all years, worked diligently rehearsing and were excited to put on an excellent show for not only the school community, but the broader community as well. The experience has boosted their confidence and brought them closer together.
The students who played the lead roles were Emily Anderson, Amelie Battye, Zac Dowd, Aysha Craig and Natasha Kelly.
Year 11 student Josie Holfter was the director of the production and said she thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Creative and Performing Arts head teacher Alenka Macnab says she is proud of everyone involved in the production.
"A heartfelt thank you to all staff, cast, and crew who contributed to making our production of Puffs such a tremendous success," Mrs Macnab said.
