ASCA Award Winners

OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT FOR MLC SCHOOL SPEECH & DRAMA STUDIO STUDENTS

We are thrilled to announce that nine MLC School Speech and Drama Studio students received the prestigious ASCA (Australian Speech Communication Association) Excellence Award for their outstanding performances in their exam at the end of last year. Only a select number of students are chosen from each Studio. Part of the selection criteria in addition to an outstanding exam performance and result is a student’s continued commitment and achievement to their speech and drama studies throughout the year.

The students were presented with a Medal and Certificate at the ASCA Awards Ceremony held at Ravenswood School for Girls last Saturday. We are so proud of our students for their outstanding achievement.

“Attending the ASCA Speech and Drama ceremony was a prestigious event that I was proud to have been invited to attend. Seeing young public speakers from schools all over New South Wales and even further, like Kuring-Gai and Canberra, was an unforgettable experience. It was fascinating to be able to walk on stage and receive a medal in front of so many important people.

Speech and drama is an amazing co-curricular that I recommend everybody join and have a go at least once in your life. It really helps your courage to speak in front of people as well as act and perform, and you can walk from it with many life-skills for the future. I am so honoured to be a part of the Speech and Drama Studio community.”

 “On Saturday a group of talented MLC School students bravely gathered at Ravenswood School for Girls, for the biggest moment in their lives. It wasn’t a common academy award, it was THE ASCA Awards (drum roll please) and medals. I had a mix of nervous and excited emotions and l was incredibly lucky to be there. There were some amazing Speeches and Performances in-between the awards. I liked all of the performances because they were incredible and the performers seemed to be different people onstage. They used emotions and voice to help elevate the performance. I had an amazing time and I am ready for more Speech and Drama challenges. A very big thank you to Ms Brian and Miss Milly and all the other teachers for all your help, support and encouragement in Speech and Drama. I am looking forward to lots more fun times!”
