Student Achievements

We would like to congratulate all our Prep and Junior Ballet students on their year of learning, hard work and highly successful participation of the RAD exams last week. We received lots of very positive feedback from parents regarding how well prepared the students were, how wonderful they looked and how supportive and caring our staff are. The students looked really beautiful, confident and calm. We would like to thank our Ballet teachers for all the hard work put into training and preparing the students for these exams, as it takes months of classes and a lot of dedication to get the students to this point. It is a massive and coordinated effort on all fronts from all staff as well as our fantastic parent volunteers that allows such a smooth, successful and special event occur.
