Drama

Eisteddfods 

This weekend was a great success for our co-curricular drama students at the eisteddfod duologue and monologue competitions.  

Inner West – Shakespeare 

At the final Inner West day, Jessica Allman (Year 10) and Lara Waterhouse (Year 10) performed a Shakespearean piece from Romeo and Juliet as Juliet and Lady Capulet. Their performance was attended by Helena Bailey, who founded the competition 42 years ago. Jessica and Lara earned second place and were personally awarded a special prize of a book authored by Helena herself. 

Northern Beaches 

At the Northern Beaches Eisteddfod, four monologues and two duologues competed. Cecilia Bryant (Year 9) won first place for her monologue The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Matilda Bentley (Year 9) earned second place, and Annabelle Stack (Year 8) and Ava Christofides (Year 9) tied for third. In the duologues, Ria Iyer (Year 7) and Jessica Parker (Year 7) performed an excerpt from Stories in the Dark and received a Highly Commended, and Stephanie Port (Year 7) and Sophia Mohseni (Year 7) earned first place for their performance from Jasper Jones.
