Drama class production - “Shakers”

In 2022 Holly Druce directed the comedy “Shakers”.

Set in the 1980’s at a cocktail bar this tongue in cheek play explores long suffering waitresses coping with a range of customers. ​​​​​​​

Holly did an outstanding job (attaining Excellence for her mahi) bringing the best out of her cast with much kindness and compassion throughout. Well done actors - you were witty, in the moment and ‘Shakers’ was heaps of fun! 

11/12 Drama class production - “Judas Zoo”

“Judas Zoo”, was our sci-fi drama with multiple deaths, kissing scenes and the challenging concept of always being watched! ​​​​​​​

Years 11 and 12 Drama united to organise the advertising, costumes, makeup, front of house and set. They were fabulous! Some outstanding performances from Aaron, William, Ngahere, Zoe, Brooke and Lexi who all gained Excellence for their acting.
