Speech and Drama Students Shine at Inner West and Sydney Eisteddfods

Speech and Drama Students Shine at Inner West and Sydney Eisteddfods

The Inner West Eisteddfod 11-12 years and 13-14 years categories were held last weekend. Our students performed brilliantly achieving record marks over 90% and many winning places. The competition was strong and the Adjudicator said she had the very difficult job of allocating the winners. She commented that another Adjudicator may have chosen different winners and it comes down to the just one or two things she was looking for to differentiate between such excellent performers. So, whether students received a trophy, medal or Highly commended award, all students are winners and we are extremely proud of their dedication, confidence and excellent performances. 

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to the following students for their outstanding performances and being wonderful representatives of MLC School.
