The audience at The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) was recently transported into a colorful underwater world for a “fintastic” musical performance by the Elementary School students for Disney’s Finding Nemo Kids!
From the “Drop-off” on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef down to Sydney Harbour, the students swept the audience away on a highly engaging, fun underwater experience. In addition to the confidence of their acting, singing, and dancing, what stood out most was the ease with which they worked together. Each performer contributed to the storytelling that carried the audience along on this fun ocean adventure. The characters they created reflected the time and energy they had spent exploring their roles and building trust with one another.
This production was also a true community effort. Middle School students supported lighting, QLab audio-visual cue control, multi-camera operations, and stage crew work. High School students contributed as stage managers and supported set and prop design and makeup. Their involvement added technical expertise and mentorship, strengthening the production as a whole.
Guided by the school’s vision to “Know yourself, care for all, and create a better world," the performance also carried a deeper purpose. All proceeds from the show were donated to the Children’s Future Education Centre, one of ISKL’s long-standing Community Service Partners.
It was a joyful reminder of what happens when creativity, commitment, and collaboration come together on stage. Seeing students step out of their comfort zones and perform at such a high level, supported by an enthusiastic and encouraging audience, was truly something special.
