Drama
Welcome back!
We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you are all excited to return for another fun filled year for Drama. I’d like to extend a warm welcome to any new students who will be making their debut with Drama and the stage in 2025.
Term 4 2024 Co-curricular Drama – Centrestage Showcase
Before we move on to the business of 2025, I would like to highlight the exceptional work for last year’s end of year showcase. We wrapped up another incredible year of co-curricular Drama, where our Centrestage 2024 showcase was a true celebration of talent, dedication, and creativity. From our eager Year 2 newcomers to our graduating Year 12 students, every performer brought their unique energy to the stage.
Last year’s theme, “Behind the Mask,” inspired students to think outside the box, devising original works that explored both literal and metaphorical interpretations of masks.
The week began with an electrifying Theatresports and Filmmaking evening. Our Theatresports students took part in a fast-paced improvisation competition, creating scenes about everything from friendships and alien encounters to quirky restaurant mishaps. Following this, our Filmmaking students from Years 3 to 12 wowed the audience with a stunning selection of original films, showcasing their storytelling and technical skills.
On Wednesday, our Junior Drama students took the spotlight, presenting self-devised performances based on the theme. Each group explored different perspectives, from literal masks to the emotional layers we wear to hide our true selves. Their performances demonstrated remarkable confidence, imagination, and growth.
The week concluded with our Senior Drama Showcase on Friday evening, featuring a diverse selection of performances, including eisteddfod groups, duologues, skills classes, and musical theatre. It was a wonderful tribute to the hard work, progress, and passion of our senior students throughout the year.
Important Information for 2025
As we prepare for the new year, we would like to share some key information regarding co-curricular Drama in 2025.
- Uniform – All students are required to wear the co-curricular Drama uniform for rehearsals and performances. As the official Pymble Drama shirt is not yet available at the uniform shop, students should wear a plain black shirt for the first few weeks of this term.
- Carline pick up – Junior students will be escorted to the Flagpole carline pick up area at the end of class. Teachers will supervise for 15 minutes; any student not collected within this time will be taken to Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) for further supervision. If your child has another class on campus after Drama, they may walk there independently.
Thank you for your continued support of co-curricular Drama at Pymble. We can’t wait to see the incredible things our students will achieve in 2025!
