Speech and Drama – Welcome to Term 2 and Holiday Production Fun!

The Speech and Drama Studio would like to welcome back our existing students and a warm welcome to our new students joining us for an exciting Term 2. First week back and we are already seeing wonderful and creative work from our students in all SDS programs including Speech and Drama, Acting for Camera, Musical Theatre, Theatresports, and Future Leaders public speaking club and solos.

Congratulations to our amazing cast of our April holiday production of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

After auditioning and casting roles, the students embarked on a magical journey into the world of theatre. They rehearsed scenes and learnt lots of dances, added costumes and set bringing it all together for the big performance for family and friends. Our amazing cast performed brilliantly.

The productions are a wonderful opportunity for students to have fun with their friends and meet new ones from all year groups. We see an enormous amount of confidence develop over the production week and for some students it is the first time they have performed on stage in front of an audience. We are so proud of you.

The Inner West Eisteddfod kicks off next week. We have over 200 students representing MLC school in our wider Burwood community. The Inner West eisteddfod takes place over four weekends. Some students are also representing MLC school in the Parramatta, Ryde and Sydney Eisteddfods. Eisteddfods are a wonderful opportunity for students to utilise the skills they are gaining in class and perform in front of an audience. We are so proud of our eisteddfod students for your hard work and passion and for proudly representing our school.
