“Theatre is 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.” – Oscar Wilde.

This rang true on Monday and Tuesday night when we had the first curriculum performance evening of the year. Non-linear, non-sensical storylines enthralled our audiences as we celebrated a night of Absurd Theatre. Congratulations to all involved.

Audition submissions are now closed for Gala Arts. Tickets will go on sale throughout the term.

Senior Curriculum Performance Evenings 

In the upcoming weeks, we have an array of senior curriculum performance evenings, showcasing their classwork over the semester. We encourage friends and family to attend to support all students involved. Please see the information below for these evenings. 

Extra-subject Drama and Theatre 

Classes are going well. If you want to enrol your child please contact drama@redlands.nsw.edu.au. Some classes are at capacity and have a waitlist. 

Reminder: A friendly reminder to communicate with your child about their extra-curricular classes in the morning. We have had cases were students are in car line or their designated pick up spot and have needed to be located before class starts. Please ensure any absences are sent to drama@redlands.nsw.edu.au or your childs class tutor prior to the lesson.

Highlight of the Week: Redlands House 

Creative Kids Tuesday Class: Meet the new creative kids team. What fun we are having on Tuesday afternoons!

Highlight of the Week: Combined Preparatory Music Theatre Yr 1 and Yr 2

Today we combined as a whole Prep MT class. Kindy/Yr 1 performed for the Yr 2s and vice versa. We all tried to learn some of the dance moves for the song Can’t Stop the Feeling from Trolls.

Highlight of the Week: Yr 5 and 6 Junior Music Theatre
