Celebrating Excellence – Eliza Dawson Shines at NSW State Drama Camp

We are proud to share some wonderful feedback received from Dan Jones, a tutor at the NSW State Drama Camp, who had the pleasure of working with Eliza Dawson during the final week of Term 2.
In his message, Dan praised Eliza for her impressive work ethic, collaborative spirit, and the confidence she demonstrated while working with an unfamiliar group of peers. He noted how Eliza threw herself into every challenge with enthusiasm and professionalism – qualities that truly reflect the strong performing arts culture here at Canterbury Girls High School.
“Eliza was a credit to your school and to her drama class throughout the week. The way she embraced working with an unfamiliar group and jumped into every challenge spoke volumes of the quality of the performing arts culture being fostered in your school by dedicated staff.”
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Eliza for representing CGHS with such distinction. Her dedication, creativity and willingness to take risks are a testament to the commitment she has shown in the classroom and on the stage.
