Launceston Speech & Drama Competitions
In Week 2 Riverside High School Drama students took part in the Launceston Speech and Drama Competitions held at the Princess and Earl Arts Theatres. Of course, all the students showed incredible courage, performing in front of an audience full of strangers and an adjudicator and as expected, they behaved impeccably and gave it their all!
Students entered a range of sections including Group Scenes, Duo and Trios, Monologues, Recital, and Creative Individual. The amount of placings achieved by these students stands as testament to the talent and dedication of Drama students at Riverside High School.
