Pride and Prejudice Drama Production

This year, our senior students, in conjunction with boys from Newington College, performed five performances of Jane Austen’s classic, Pride and Prejudice.The students rehearsed every Wednesday and Sunday for two terms, showing dedication, creativity and energy. All their efforts were rewarded by sell out performances each night with wonderful feedback, both in person and via email, that focused on the students’ passion and professionalism. Special mention must also go to our crew who negotiated over 100 props and set pieces and moved the set on stage seamlessly. The seminal experience has seen new friendships form and developed a belief in our students that the theatre is a wonderful vehicle to educate both young and old. Indeed, our Year 7 and Year 8 students reported how much they enjoyed the show.

I must thank Kellie Cogin, Bojana Kvrgic and the Dance, Drama and Entertainment (DDE) staff for all their support and the countless other staff members who assisted; Pam McGowan, Robyn Langford, Liane Simpson, Kylie Bickerstaff, Con the Caterer, Wendy Allen and the Marketing and Community Relations department, especially Amelia Morgano and Jillian Avramis for their help.

We look forward to seeing you at our next production.
