Drama Excursion

Curtain Call: Reflecting on an Incredible Drama Excursion to Sydney

Over three incredible days, our Drama students embarked on an unforgettable journey filled with theatre, creativity, and inspiration. It all began with the spectacular musical Hadestown at the Theatre Royal Sydney, where students were captivated by the stunning visuals, powerful storytelling, and mesmerising music. Meeting the talented cast was the perfect finale to an unforgettable night.

The excitement continued with performances of the HSC Drama plays Fangirls and Neighbourhood Watch, followed by a high-energy musical workshop that sparked creativity and new friendships. Behind-the-scenes tours of the Sydney Theatre Company and Bell Shakespeare provided exclusive insights into the world of professional theatre. The day concluded with the inspiring HSC OnSTAGE showcase at the Seymour Centre, featuring some of the best 2024 HSC Drama performances and projects.

The adventure wrapped up with a scenic ferry ride across Sydney Harbour before a playbuilding workshop at the Australian Theatre for Young People, where students showcased their enthusiasm and creativity through engaging and playful performances. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff Melissa Cotton, Markus Muschall, and Craig Bertwistle for making this experience possible. Finally, a massive round of applause to all the students who attended, representing St John Paul College with creativity, maturity, and flair. Their passion and enthusiasm made this an experience to remember, and we look forward to many more Drama adventures ahead!
