At the Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand festival hosted by Carmel College in April, there were over 40 scene performances from schools across the region.
From that field, the judges selected a small number for special awards. Our students received two of these awards – one for their ensemble work in Macbeth, and one for an outstanding individual performer: Aiyana Pereira (13HSM). These awards came with South Seas Film school scholarships, giving our students access to a professional introductory film training course.
It was a standout result that recognises both collaborative excellence and individual talent and reflects the calibre of work our Drama Academy students are producing.
A huge thank you must go to the staff, whānau, and students who supported the production journey – from rehearsals and costume preparation to encouragement on performance day. Experiences like these provide invaluable opportunities for students to grow as performers, communicators, and creative thinkers. We are incredibly proud of everyone involved and look forward to seeing where their drama journeys take them next. Congratulations to all cast members for representing our school with such excellence and enthusiasm.
