Students shine at Murwillumbah Eisteddfod

Between the 16th and 21st June 2016 many Speech and Drama students participated in the Murwillumbah Festival of Performing Arts. It was a very worthwhile experience and such a boost for confidence. The reports were very encouraging and the marks high. For those going on stage for the first time it was also a valuable stepping stone for future competitions. Congratulations to all the participants as well as those listed in the results below. We were very proud of you and so were your parents and other family members.
