Drama

I have loved every second of my year as Drama Captain. I think the most rewarding thing for me has been the friendships I have made within Drama Club. With almost 15 kids every session, I have students from Years 7, 8, 9 and 10, making for a super eclectic and unique bunch of girls. The energy is always high, and their excitement and bubbly personalities brighten up my day every time I see them. Having the opportunity to meet all these girls, means when I walk around the School, I always have someone to say hello and chat to, and they have a Year 12 they can go to for anything and everything. This honestly has built such a special sense of community for me as a student and makes me feel like I have made a positive impact as a Captain. I have also loved running Drama Club for its culture. I really wanted to create a space free of judgement or fear. A space where girls (theatre kid or not) can do what they love, have fun, get creative, gain the confidence to perform, but most importantly be unapologetically w. Together as a Club, we brainstormed, wrote, rehearsed, and performed a mini play for the opening of The Jamie and Rebecca Gray Theatre. For some Year 7s it was their first time performing and for the whole Club, a chance to put our weekly rehearsals into action.

I have loved promoting and commemorating the School’s performances, including Curious Comedies and the Senior Musical Urinetown, which included a flash mob presentation in assembly involving the whole cast.
