This study reports on a case study, which investigated the experiences of teachers and students involved in the development of a school production in a New Zealand primary school. The production process utilized inquiry-based learning and integrated learning approaches to produce an original performance based on the school’s history. Rather than outline the creative process itself, the study looked at the social and personal experience of the participants. The experiences of students are reported elsewhere. This article reports on the responses of students via a questionnaire and two focus groups administered after the production was performed for parents and community. Of particular interest were what students deemed to be helpful / unhelpful in the process of scene development and what they found memorable in the experience. Findings indicated that while students found the process of scene development demanding, they found a number of factors helpful, including the process of inquiry itself and the use of improvisation. Most students found the production process enjoyable for a range of reasons, including a sense of achievement for a particular role performed, memorable moments, audience connection and the opportunity to work with others on a major enterprise. The study also found a correlation between the level of enjoyment expressed by students, and the amount of ownership they felt they had over the content of the scenes.
