Shakespeare Carnival

I am delighted to announce another win for Pymble Drama with our Short Film receiving First Place at the Shakespeare Carnival. This film was technically well shot and emotive. It incorporated beautiful imagery and a moving storyline. Well done to the following students: Ayla Gortan (Year 8), Cyma Shah (Year 8), Sierra Borean (Year 8) and Lulu Li (Year 8).

Despite some tough competition our Year 7 to 8 Drama Skills Group made a lasting impression on the Judges with their passionate rendition of the Bard’s works. Despite not winning, our students’ dedication and talent were clear, earning applause and admiration from the audience. I am very proud of this troupe of performers. This experience was for many, their first debut on stage. Well done to the following students: Orla Cottrell (Year 7), Kalash Khanna (Year 7), Amber Lewis (Year 7), Ruby Shepherd-Smith (Year 8), Esha Marwah (Year 7), Cecilia Bryant (Year 8), Isabella Benjamin (Year 8), Lucy Gao (Year 8), Jessie Gui (Year 8), Summer Makan (Year 7).

We congratulate all participants and winners, and most importantly, celebrate our own students for their exceptional efforts. They have made our community proud and set a high bar for future endeavours. Let’s continue to support and encourage our young thespians as they refine their talents for next year’s competition. Bravo!
