Arts academy is launched

Students from Brisbane Water Secondary College launched their Performing Arts Academy last week with a brilliant production of "The Matchmaker", which attracted capacity crowds on each of the three nights.

Performed in the senior campus drama room, the play displayed performances from actors Max Harwood, Dale Miller, Will Henderson, Rachel Pratt, Daniel Stone, Lexi Ianson, Alex Beaton, Sarah Harvey, Ray McLawes, Megan Purcell, Stacey Court, Andrewe Hurl, Nathan Bruce, and Amanda Lilleyman.

The production was directed by head teacher Mr Roger Macey.

Students also benefited from coaching provided by former student Jasmine Baker, who gained her start in school musical productions and is now an accomplished acting coach.

Jasmine and Mr Macey are already preparing students for a production of Grease, which will be performed at the Ettalong Memorial Club in mid-November.
