Drama
Congratulations to our outstanding performers!
We are pleased to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our drama students at the recent Eisteddfod competitions.
Parramatta Eisteddfod
Isabel Neal and Charlotte Blaiklock delivered a fantastic performance of “Sugar House,” earning them a well-deserved second place win. This dynamic duo continues to impress us with their talent and dedication. Keep up the excellent work!
Cyma Shah and Isabella Benjamin received a Highly Commended award for their powerful performance of “Jasper Jones.” This piece demands a high level of maturity and professionalism to portray its serious themes effectively, and they executed it with great skill. Well done!
Emma Popli and Lakshi Rajeev secured 3rd place for their engaging rendition of Colin and Alistair from “Two Weeks With The Queen.” Their performance was captivating and well-received.
Olivia Guo and Trinity Sun earned a Highly Commended award for their performance. Their commitment to their characters really impressed the judges. Their hard work and dedication to their craft shone through, making their performance memorable and impactful. Congratulations on your outstanding effort!
Chloe Xiong and Eden Ni also received a Highly Commended award for their performance. Their collaborative spirit and strong stage presence demonstrated their excellent teamwork and dedication. Well done on your excellent work!
Shakespeare Carnival Grand Final
Our young filmmakers, Ayla Gortan, Cyma Shah, Sierra Borean, and Lulu Li, competed in the Shakespeare Carnival Grand Final with their short film “Sonnet 98.” Although they did not place, their emotive storytelling and beautiful poetry received high praise from the audience. Their efforts were rewarded with a filmmaking workshop with the Bell Shakespeare Company, where they had the opportunity to further develop their skills and create a short film in just one day. This experience provided valuable professional insight and one-on-one mentoring, significantly enhancing their filmmaking abilities.
Congratulations to all our talented students for their dedication and exceptional performances. We are incredibly proud of your achievements and look forward to seeing your continued success!
