Yesterday, the boys and girls of Portpatrick Primary School delighted audiences with their wonderful Christmas show, The Christmas Gift That Money Can\u2019t Buy<\/em>. Written and directed by Mr Morrison<\/strong> and Mrs Copeland<\/strong>, the performance beautifully captured the true spirit and meaning of Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stage sparkled thanks to our brilliant prop master, Kim<\/strong>, who was always on hand in the wings to prompt and support the cast. Our lovely student, Miss Millar<\/strong>, also provided invaluable support, caring for and encouraging our younger performers throughout the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the afternoon and evening shows were packed with family members, friends and members of our wider community, all coming together to support the children and enjoy a thoroughly entertaining production. The show offered a fantastic mix of joyful singing, laughter and thought-provoking moments that reminded us all of the true meaning of Christmas. A special mention goes to Freya<\/strong>, whose solo was a highlight of the performance and Harry<\/strong> who clearly narrated the Christmas tale. Our wonderful cast and their roles are shown in the list image below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are incredibly grateful for the support behind the scenes and on stage. Reverend Ogston<\/strong> seamlessly managed the lighting and sound, while Reverend Breakey and Barbara<\/strong> brought extra magic to the show as both elves and angels. Our regal wise men were wonderfully portrayed by Mr Ross, Mr Cerexe, Mr Gordon and former pupil Lewis McCulloch<\/strong>. Mrs Henry<\/strong> was a huge hit with the audience as the Grinch, proving that Christmas cheer sometimes comes with a wicked grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the performance, families stayed to enjoy a raffle generously supported by donations from friends and families of our school. Our Parent Council <\/strong>worked hard to organise the raffle, with a special mention to Nikki<\/strong> for her support in putting together the fabulous main prize hamper. After a very quick count, we are delighted to share that approximately \u00a3600 was raised for our school. This achievement is entirely thanks to the kindness and generosity of our amazing community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
