This week, grade 11 students performed / presented their chosen jobs in the field of theatre and drama. Performances included amazing costumes, music, a great instructional video and of course, plenty of useful information about pay, benefits, education, work schedules and networking. Thanks to everyone for jumping in with both feet, and getting the assignments prepared and done on time. Good work!!

** We read and performed the short dialogue "Loathe At First Sight", by Ellen Conford. Stellar performances included Walter's amazing British accent, and Bronwyn's excellent work Walter as his alter ego. Lucas and Evangeline really used the stage well, and made sure to "cheat" and face their audience. Lauryn and Eli were brave and went first. Thank you. Holly and Lindsay did a somewhat funny version with Lindsey's excellent facial expressions and Holly's amazing clear reading/speaking.
I will miss all of you wonderful students at ODCVI, and hope to get back to visit you in the near future.
