Year 11 student Kristy Stephen has been selected to perform in the Sydney Olympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies in September.
She has a hectic time ahead of her with many rehearsals and a need to keep many details secret about the ceremonies.
Alex Tsambos in Year 7 and Sherridan Coghlin in Year 10 are currently performing in the Central Coast Ensemble and will dance in the Local Dance Festival and Dance Week in September.
These girls, including Kristy, will devote many personal hours in coming months to improving their performances.
