Throughout the week they rehearsed scenes, learnt choreography, developed their characters, and watched the production come to life as costumes, props and set were added in preparation for the final performance. The week culminated in a wonderful performance for family and friends, with our cast delivering a wonderful show to a very appreciative audience.<\/p>\n<p>Our holiday productions provide students with a fantastic opportunity to have fun with friends, make new friendships across different year groups, and experience the excitement of working together towards a live performance. We see remarkable growth in confidence throughout the week, and for many students it is their very first time performing on stage in front of an audience. We are incredibly proud of every student who embraced the challenge and congratulate them on a wonderful production.<\/p>\n<p>Enrolments for our December and January Holiday production will open in Week 6.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>December Holiday Production<\/strong> will run from <strong>Tuesday 8 December \u2013 Friday 11 December 2026 <\/strong>(4 days).<\/li>\n<li><strong>January Holiday Production<\/strong> will run from <strong>Monday 18 January <\/strong>&#8211; <strong>Thursday 21 January 2027 <\/strong>(4 days) or <strong>Friday 22 January 2027<\/strong> (5 days), dates TBC<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Click on gallery to view full images<\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-47635 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/10\/PHOTO-2026-10-15-13-58-47-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/10\/PHOTO-2026-10-15-13-58-47-3-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/10\/PHOTO-2026-10-15-13-58-48-4.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/10\/PHOTO-2026-10-15-13-58-48-4-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/10\/PHOTO-2026-10-15-13-58-50-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2026\/10\/PHOTO-2026-10-15-13-58-50-3-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><em><strong>&#8211; <a href=\"mailto:mbrian@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au\">Monica Brian<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>Speech and Drama Studio Director<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Speech and Drama Studio warmly welcomes back all our returning students and extends a special welcome to the many new families joining us for an exciting Term 4.
