Nick STAIKOS (Bentleigh – Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Local Government) (09:57): I recently attended Bentleigh Secondary College’s production of Mamma Mia! It was Abba-solutely amazing. Congratulations Leela Toth, Madison Bates, Scarlett Moss, Georgie Guengerich, Mia Workman, Tiana Bray, Lola Frost, Ella Slattery, Gabe Yianni, Luca Coombs, Will Hardy, George Kokakis, Kyryl Andrenko, Cisco Biffin, Charlie Byrne, Emma Gates, Abigail Guengerich, Sophie Handley, Gal Harel, Lila Heppingstone, Shenaya Hettiarachchi, Tim Hill, Evie Hodges, Alexandra Maggioni, Matteo Maxwell, Eve McCausland, Lucille Miller, Jaya Mor, Benjamin Morgan, Sarah Murayama, Rosalinda O’Callahan, Missy Owens, Billy Rintoul, Megan Smith, Alana Wajnberg, Ruby Blundell, Evie Browne, Amelie Buxton-Rella, Izzy Butcher, Noah Clifford, Violet Cunningham, Lincoln Elford, Oscar Green, Benjamin Harris, Sahara Hurlstone-Del-Har, Mandy Lin, Ariel Young, Liliya Zhuravlyova and Zeb Graham, who was part of the production team.
What made this production even more Abba-solutely amazing is that it was the first major musical production held at Bentleigh Secondary College’s brand new performing arts centre, a project of the Allan Labor government. Bentleigh Secondary College has a performing arts centre that, frankly, no other government school in the area has, and it is in recognition of the amazing performing arts program at that outstanding school. Congratulations to all involved.
