That COVID Show                                                                              

We have been able to complete a performance outcome for our students in the form of this very special film, responding to the events of an extraordinary year. We reflect on a year that marked SCEGGS 125th birthday but also challenged the nation and the world in a myriad of ways – bushfires, black lives matter and the COVID-19 pandemic.

We take great pride in the creativity and craft of the girls who have explored their individual skills and talents to produce this very special event. The girls of SCEGGS TV have also been tremendous contributors in filming, recording, and editing the film.

THAT COVID SHOW may be accessed through THIS LINK.

The film will be available to view for the remainder of 2020.

Have a jolly Christmas and a terrific break – from the Drama Department!

I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
