The Little Mermaid will be exchanging the ocean for the Visakha swimming pool this January. The school's reputed water ballet and dance teams intend to become partners in the telling of Ariel's story. Using music from Disney's animated film, and accompanied by dancers, the Visakha girls have adapted the script to suit a water ballet – the first to be staged in their beautiful new swimming pool. And expect to find a number of them in it – the sizable cast includes nearly 50 students, 30 of whom will be in the water.
Lifting their voices

"It may be storming at the Jordan, stand there anyhow. Anyhow, anyhow, anyhow…" A group of young female singers heard this gospel number for the first time last year, when Prof. Mark Wilson, Director of the University of California, Berkeley Gospel Choir, conducted a week long workshop with them, which wound up with a performance at the Wendt. Since then, this tune has seen this choir through many a trying time.
