2024 Dance Captain Achieves Incredible Results

After training up to 25 hours a week in dance on top of her IB Year 12 studies, Dance Captain Kate has achieved some incredible results for her hard work.

In April 2024, she was awarded gold for both her classical and contemporary solo at the semi-finals of the Asian Grand Prix International Ballet competition and has been invited to represent Australia at the finals in Thailand in August. She was also a state finalist in the prestigious Royal Academy of Dance Isobel Anderson awards for the highest level, Advanced 1.

Following several rounds of auditions Kate has been offered places in 2025 at The Rock School for Dance in the US and The Central School of Ballet in London. Both these select schools prepare elite dancers for a professional ballet career. In late June Kate will be taking up a scholarship at The Rock School for Dance’s Summer Intensive and was also offered a place in the Joffrey Academy of Dance Summer Intensive in Chicago.

Considering that she has done all of this whilst maintaining her studies is remarkable. We’re so proud of her achievements and can’t wait to see what the future holds for her.
