Year 9 Drama and Year 11 IB Theatre Excursion

On Friday 1 November, Year 9 Drama and Year 11 IB Theatre students attended an excursion to the Seymour Centre to watch Treehouse Theatre’s Refugee Diaries. The Treehouse Theatre program provides a platform for young refugees aged 12 years to 18 years to share their life stories. Through collaborative play-building, these performers share their personal stories with the wider community. Students were struck by both the heartwarming stories of family and friendship as well as the heartbreaking reality of what these children had experienced at their age. It was an eye-opening experience that inspired Drama students for their own play-building assessment.
