News : Drama is a rewarding experience

A Lancashire Head Teacher who turned around the fortunes of a primary school placed on special measures aided by his love of performance has been rewarded with a portable stage. Gareth Robertshaw was presented with the Stage Pack on Noel’s Christmas Presents after being nominated by pupils from Westhoughton Parochial Primary School who wanted to show their appreciation for his hard work and continued support.

The Debut Stage Pack donated by Topdeck Systems added a final flourish to a selection of surprises which included a walk on part in a West End show for musical lover Mr Robershaw. He has encouraged the children at Westhoughton to embrace performance and Debut will add pizzazz to future productions as customised foot inserts allow Debut Bases to create a variety of stepped, raised areas including choir tiers. To ensure the children will be kept safe and secure Topdeck systems also donated a set of Guardrails.

Debut presented the perfect gift for the school as the system has been developed utilising Topdeck’s experience within the schools’ market. Designed to meet performance and teaching demands, Debut is the simple solution that is packed with features to create a safe and easy to use platform for all creative endeavours.

Noel’s Christmas Presents was on Sky1 HD and Sky1 over Christmas.
