“Murderous Misunderstandings”

We are thrilled to celebrate the success of our talented drama students who recently devised and performed their original piece “Murderous Misunderstandings” at the Sharp and Short Eisteddfod.

This captivating drama, created entirely by students, revolves around a group of friends who summon a ghost at a sleepover party. The ghost, mysteriously appearing at multiple locations, including the movies, leads the friends into a series of comedic and suspenseful interrogations to uncover who killed her.

Students demonstrated exceptional creativity and collaboration in bringing engaging characters to life. Their ability to balance the elements of horror and comedy made for an unforgettable performance.

Well done to Year 5 students: Aisha Suresh, Safina Burgess, Summer Wang, Sunny Wang, and Year 6 students: Alice Wu, Cecilia Zhang, and Shilin Zhao for making “Murderous Misunderstandings” a resounding success!

“The Formal Club” follows the story of a group of misfits who come together with a daring plan to save their school formal. Faced with poor report cards that threaten to cancel the event, they devise a scheme to sneak into the school under the cover of darkness and alter their grades. This thrilling and humorous adventure showcases themes of friendship, rebellion, and determination.

The students demonstrated remarkable creativity and collaboration in bringing “The Formal Club” to life. Their ability to blend comedy and suspense resulted in an engaging and memorable performance that captivated the audience.

Quote from the cast of “The Formal Club”: “This was a great experience that built our skills in teamwork and allowed us to perform under pressure. We get to collaborate with other schools and make new friends while learning how to adapt to new situations and perform for different audiences.”

“Will of Fortune”

We are delighted to celebrate the innovative and entertaining performance of our drama students who recently devised and presented an original piece titled “Will of Fortune” at Sharp and Short Eisteddfod.

“Will of Fortune” is a game show like no other, starring a complicated family who undeservedly fight over the inheritance of their dearly departed grandfather. The game show, with its unique and comedic format, decides the fate of these family members and distributes the winnings, adding a humorous and dramatic twist to the classic tale of family rivalry.

Their ability to blend humour, drama, and suspense resulted in a captivating and memorable production that resonated with the audience. Well done to our Year 10 performers: Sehjal Baveja, Mahika Swamy, Verity Haslam, Holly Graham, Kristine Weng, Selina Huang, Chloe Brown, Rosa Kim.
