St Peter’s Primary School, Bentleigh East

Nick STAIKOS (Bentleigh) (13:54): It was my absolute pleasure to visit my old school St Peter’s last week to see Westall ’66:The Musical, written by performing arts teacher Drew Lane. The production was about the famous UFO sighting at Westall in the member for Clarinda’s electorate in 1966. The students were absolutely stunning in the production.
