Drama and Theatre

 

What a week it has been in the Drama and Theatre world. All classes have resumed and students are getting back into the swing of things. Yesterday, students went and saw a production of Dorian Gray at Sydney Theatre Company. This work was a testament to the thriving theatre culture that as started to rise after COVID 19 and stands as a beacon of hope for the Arts in Australia. Students were inspired by the performances and it reignited a love and passion for live 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 where 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 or your child’s class tutor prior to the lesson.
