Our Grade 4, 5, and 6 Drama Clubs had the privilege of performing at the prestigious Cape Town Drama Eisteddfod on Friday 1 August 2025. Each group delivered exceptional performances, earning scores in the 96-100% category and achieving Cum Laude – the highest level of recognition.
Our clubs proudly represented the school at the Wave Theatre, performing original plays written by Mrs Theys. The plays were ‘Pandora’s Box’, ‘The Imperial Palace’, and ‘The Great Sword Squabble of Splottenshire’.
The Eisteddfod is a well-regarded event that brings together schools and drama studios from across the city to celebrate the performing arts. Participants showcase a wide range of dramatic disciplines, including group and solo poetry, monologues, duologues, and more.
While the event provides a grading framework, its purpose is not competition but rather to give students an opportunity to perform on a public platform and develop their craft. Our pupils demonstrated outstanding professionalism, collaboration, and confidence on stage.
“Their success is a testament to their dedication and commitment. Many of our pupils even attended extra rehearsals during the holidays to ensure they were performance-ready. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all parents for their continued support and for providing the wonderful costumes that helped bring each play to life.” – Mrs Terri Theys, Drama Teacher.
Congratulations to our Drama Clubs on an exceptional achievement – we are incredibly proud of you!
If you didn’t manage to see it (or want a reminder how good they were) – they will be performed again at the Cultural Showcase on 17&18 September.
