Rising Stars Film Festival

Once a year in term four the studio features a spectacular display of student talent in our annual Rising Stars Showcase. This is an exciting opportunity for students to share their work with family and friends, and enjoy a special moment in the spotlight.

Both private students and whole group classes are invited to present theatrical works in the show, as directed by their class teacher.

BIG NEWS!

For the past nine years we've been bringing magical stage performances to life in the theatre, however, to celebrate our ten year anniversary and ensure that nothing, not even COVID-19, can get in the way of this exciting opportunity for our students... we're announcing the...  2020 Rising Stars  Flim Festival

We've recently introduced film equipment into our studio and students have been exploring a wide range of screen acting techniques in preparation for filming their work for our end of year showcase.  In term four, students will rehearse their screen performances, shoot them with a professional film crew, and watch them together with family and friends in our online film festival!
