Our senior dance and drama students hit the ground running with their annual camp at Warrambui. The camp is an invaluable opportunity for students to engage deeply and creatively in core practices, and to build strong connections.

This is the first year that the College will have a senior dance class, and it was wonderful to see the dance and drama students working together on skills such as physical theatre, ensemble building and site-specific responses to provocations.

Here's what some of our talented and creative young people had to say about the camp

“I thoroughly enjoyed being able to bond with all my peers and the different groups of people really helped a more diverse perspective with our activities.”

“It was really fun to get to know new people and to learn new techniques from drama and the dancers.”

“I think the grouping of Year 11 and 12 students together was the most important as fostering the relationships was a key part to start the year as a new cohort.”

“I enjoyed the devising activities since they let us put what we had learned into our performances”

“I rediscovered my love for drama and got to bond with both my dance class and the drama classes.”

A huge thanks to Miss Melissa Markos and Mr Nick Akhurst who dedicated their time and expertise to ensure that all the students had a rich learning experience.
