Drama
Sydney Eisteddfod
We are immensely proud of all teams competing at the Sydney Eisteddfod over the weekend.
Our Year 5 and Year 6 duologue team, Emma Popli (Year 6) and Lakshi Rajeev (Year 6), achieved Second Place with their portrayal of Colin and Alistair from “Two Weeks with the Queen.” Despite facing formidable competition from 17 other groups in their age category, their energetic and comedic performance captivated the judges. Congratulations to Emma and Lakshi!
Darcey Hawkins (Year 11) and Madeleine Watson (Year 11) took the stage by storm with their hysterically funny performance of Tom Stoppard’s farce “Travesties,” earning a well-deserved First Place award!
Leura Sayers (Year 9) and Jessica Allman (Year 9) delivered a remarkable performance, earning a Third Place award for their beautiful and highly engaging rendition of “For Whom the Southern Belle Tolls.”
Well done to all teams who competed! Sydney Eisteddfod is renowned for its stiff competition, and all students should be proud of your hard work and dedication to Drama.

Well done to our amazing Theatresports actors! This is a fantastic achievement, and they performed admirably despite strong competition.
