Nanna Faye's Garden - A play involving the whole school through music and song. Written and produced by Miriam Foulds.

 A Special Thanks to… Our very own Nanna Faye who inspired the character in the play.  Faye has been a volunteer in our school and has donated over 5000 hours to our Shirley superstars.  She is an amazing woman who willingly shares her love and kindness to those around her. 

 Synopsis 

Nanna Faye is a special part of a happy school community and has a reputation for being super kind and caring towards others and the environment.

They set themselves a challenge to restore a ruined paradise which eventually earns them the title, ‘Agents of Change.’
