On Wednesday 6 December, the Year 8 Drama group performed at St John the Evangelist Primary School, Campbelltown to an audience of excited Year 1 students. The Mount Carmel students involved were: Juimn Pacheco, Christian Traboulsieh, Jessica Alford, Samuel Azzopardi and Mickey Robinson.

In this performance, Year 1 were taught about the components of the human voice:   pace, volume, diction, tone etc. A dramatic reading from a children’s book was also presented as well as interactive group work sessions with the Year 1 students themselves. The performance showcased what the Year 8 students have learnt in a 12 week program that aims to sharpen the skills of public speaking.

Many thanks to Mr Paul Moroney, the Principal at St Johns for the opportunity to visit and perform for Year 1. Thank you, as well, to the Year 1 teachers who found the time in their busy schedule for our performance.

This type of activity forms important connections with our feeder schools and the benefits are clearly twofold. The Year 8 students are to be congratulated on their exemplary behaviour and their fine performance!
