Drama and Theatre
Welcome back to all our Drama and Theatre students and families for an exciting Semester 2. Yr 12 Drama and Theatre students will be completing the final examinations in Term 3. We wish them every success and look forward to seeing many of their efforts presented to the public over the next week. Over the holidays, Senior students were involved in a variety of specialist workshops in preparation for their final exams.
Senior Showcase

Parents and friends are invited to attend the graduating performances of the group devised major works of the IB Theatre and HSC Drama students on 29 and 30 July at 6.30pm in the Drama Studio. Students have devised original works from a variety of starting points exploring a diverse range of stories.
Shakespeare State Final
The Yr 11 IB Theatre students team competed on Sunday 30 June at the State Carnival at the Seymour Centre. Redlands team came 3rd in the State which is an excellent achievement. The team features Greta Feldmann, Aleisha Lawrence, Apsara Lindeman and Domenica Stuart.
The Shakespeare Carnival is now over for 2019 but if students want more acting in their lives, Sport for Jove is creating a great opportunity for them to challenge themselves and grow as performers with our Youth Ensemble program for high school students. Applications close this week and rehearsals start this weekend! More information and applications here.
