PLAYBOX Playbuilding Festival

Year 11 Drama students scripted and performed a highly accomplished and compelling contemporary piece for the recent PLAYBOX Festival at The Cube, Wodonga. This is a new initiative by local drama teachers to create further opportunities for Year 10 & 11 high school students to develop their dramatic, theatre making, scriptwriting and performance skills with support of their teachers and an actor liaison.

Students were given a small box of items that they used to create a completely original 10-minute performance. Kurt Beath, Cassidy Frederick, Sarah Jankuaskas, Claudia Lethlean, Jack Mitsch, Laura Opdam represented Xavier with distinction developing and performing a thought provoking piece exploring themes of adolescence, loss of innocence, growth and self awareness. Congratulations to our Year 11 students and the teacher Ms. Sharyn Hill.
 
The 2018 Festival included performances from Albury High School, James Fallon High School, Murray High School, The Scots School, Trinity Anglican College and Xavier High School.
