The production is a particularly special occasion for the school, forming part of the celebrations to mark ten years of Coleraine Grammar School.
Auditions and rehearsals began in June 2026, with pupils dedicating months of hard work, commitment and enthusiasm to bringing this high-energy musical to life.
Based on the hugely popular Hollywood film starring Jack Black, School of Rock tells the story of Dewey Finn, a struggling musician who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious school.
Discovering his pupils’ remarkable musical talents, he transforms his classroom into a rock band, inspiring the children to find their confidence, embrace their individuality and discover the power of music.
Packed with humour, memorable songs and electrifying performances, the show celebrates creativity, teamwork and the importance of believing in yourself.
For the pupils involved, the production has been an opportunity to develop their talents, build confidence and work together towards a shared goal.
From learning songs and choreography to perfecting scenes and developing characters, the months of preparation reflect the dedication of the cast, staff and the wider production team. The support of staff and families has also been invaluable throughout the rehearsal process.
As the final rehearsals get underway, excitement is building throughout the school. The cast and crew are looking forward to sharing the results of their hard work with audiences and welcoming members of the local community to join in the celebrations.
The performances will take place from Tuesday to Thursday, November 17-19. Tickets are available from the Coleraine Grammar School reception from 10am onwards - get your ticket now!
The school hopes that families, friends and members of the wider community will come along to support the pupils and enjoy what promises to be a memorable celebration of music, performance and school spirit.
So, get ready to turn up the volume — Coleraine Grammar School is ready to rock!
