Shakespeare in the Quad
This week, our school proudly hosted the much-anticipated ‘Shakespeare in the Quad’ event as part of the in-school part of our competition for the Sport for Jove’s 2025 Shakespeare Carnival. On Tuesday afternoon, students and staff gathered in the Junior Quad to celebrate the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare whose influence continues to inspire.
Those that succeeded will move onto the Regional Competition next Wednesday 14th of May, hosted by Penrith Selective High School, where if successful will move onto the State Grand Final where they will compete with other schools from around NSW and the ACT at The Seymour Centre.
The event featured a diverse lineup of performances, including traditional plays, modernised adaptations, and original films created by our talented students. It was incredible to see how students were able to reimagine Shakespeare's stories, bringing new life to his timeless works through acting and film.
We would like to congratulate the following students for moving forward in their categories:
