Drama News

I am Charlotte Michael, the Drama Captain for 2024. It has been such a great year already for the Performing Arts that has included the House Eisteddfod, College Musical and the two College plays.

To start the year, we had Loyola’s annual House Eisteddfod at the end of Term One. Our six Houses each performed a 12-minute musical which they had been preparing every Friday night after school. Each performance was amazing to watch, and it was great to see so many people involved. Congratulations to Flynn House who took the win this year with ‘Rock of Ages’ and thank you to the supervising staff and to all year 12s who conducted the rehearsals.

'Mamma Mia!', the College Musical, was recently performed and left audience members wanting more. The show was a great success with familiar songs by ABBA which stuck in so many people’s heads for hours after the performance. Congratulations to all involved and for giving up your weekends, Friday nights and holidays to produce such an incredible and professional show. 

Loyola College was also lucky enough to have two Year 12 College Plays - ‘Cosi’ performed by Ms Bryans' class and ‘Noises Off’ by Ms Boyle's class - which were both so amazing to watch, presenting the incredible talents from our Year 12 students of both Theatre Studies classes.

At the end of Term Two, the Dance Showcase took place showcasing all ranges of dance that students have been working on over the past 6 months. Year 12 students shared their incredible solo performances and younger year levels showed their group work showcasing all their amazing skills.
