Ms McCauley went on to conduct a free improvisation workshop in the afternoon for young actors, with a handful of performers taking advantage of the opportunity.
The littlies opened the show, with the six years and under taking to the stage to recite their poem.
The schools session from morning tea to the lunch break was notable for the absence of Drake Public School, which remains closed due to the ongoing fire risk, as does the Bruxner Highway.
Archie George brought the morning session to an hilarious close, delivering a Marco Gliori-penned ode about a floater in the swimming pool which had the audience in stitches.
Here are the results from day 1:
