This week, we had our highly anticipated Year 10 Production, ‘This Changes Everything.’ It marked the first-ever Year 10 production, a recognition of the immense talent and passion among our drama pupils in the year group. Over two nights of full house performances, we welcomed over 150 in the audience.

This Changes Everything’ by Joel Horwood raises thought-provoking questions about society: How can we change the world? or should we? We were deeply impressed by the staging and lighting, which fully immersed us in this utopian world. The performances featured intense acting moments and challenging lines, evoking strong emotions from the audience. One parent remarked, ‘It was such an emotionally intense play, I can’t believe these pupils are only in Year 10; their performance was of such a high standard.

Here are some reflections from our pupils:

‘It was challenging to have a big contrast of my character, from a very reserved emotion to a big outburst at the end, I love it.  ~Cassia

 ‘I just love performing, I enjoyed the adrenaline on the stage. We have all worked so hard to memorise all the lines and understand the emotions of our characters, it was rewarding!  ~Leona

‘It was nerve-racking when we saw a full house audience, and we needed to act amidst them. But I enjoyed it so much!’ ~Bobo

 ‘I love that we all worked together and developed a very tight friendship! ~Reya

The production was a testament to the dedication and talent of our Year 10 pupils, and we look forward to many more successful productions in the future.”  Miss James, Director of ‘This Changes Everything’
