Our Year 9 and 10 Drama students combined to form an intermediate team to compete in the Improv Australia All Schools Theatresports Challenge. This year there were over 200 schools competing for a chance to make it to the semi finals. The competition was held at Wyong Community Christian College who proved to be great hosts for the night.
Our team included Clayton Hamilton, Emily Hamilton, Jazmyne Wardell, Taylor Whiteford and Clare Hauesler. The competition was tough, tough, tough but our team stood tall. After a quick pep talk and lots of cheering and support from the many Tumbi supporters, we ended up coming in a much deserved second place...just one point difference between us and the winner!!
It is interesting to note that our team defeated a team from a performing arts high school!
We are now off to the semi finals in the next few weeks, with the Grand Final being held at the Enmore Theatre on June 20th. The amount of talent, team spirit and community support was incredible. Once again we are so proud of our great students who courageously put themselves forward for such a confronting experience! Their talents, dedication, team spirit and performance skills are amazing as are those of their dedicated teachers and supportive parents and carers.
We look forward to our trip to the Grand Final at the Enmore Theatre in June!
