Our Year 9 Drama Class Meets Our ELC Students For Creative Insights & Inspiration

Our Year 9 Drama Class Meets Our ELC Students For Creative Insights & Inspiration

Today, our Year 9 Drama students visited our Early Learning Centre, as part of their annual Children’s Theatre Study Unit.

As part of their preparations for an upcoming performance at the end of this term, the students engaged in lively discussions with the ELC children.

They talked about their preferences for entertainment - such as favourite movies, TV shows, and books.

This insightful interaction not only enhanced their understanding of their young audience, but also strengthened the bonds within our Junior School and Senior School community.

Stay tuned for their upcoming performance, specially crafted to our ELC students with their favourite themes and interests.
