20.01.2022 Congratulations to our Year 12 Music 1 student Jorja Dalton for getting through to Phase 2 of the Talent Development Project. The TDP helps develop and cultivate the extraordinary musical talent of students. Every year up to 80 public school students from around New South Wales are selected to take part in this unique program. ... Students participate in monthly master class workshops, conducted by industry experts throughout the year. Numbers are reduced each phase until only those ready to begin a career in show business remain. Her teacher Lenore Braithwaite says, Jorja is a wonderful hard working student and an extremely talented vocalist who deserves this fantastic opportunity. She will gain invaluable experience being able to work with professionals in the entertainment industry who will give her guidance and advice. It has been very rewarding seeing her grow as a musician throughout the last two years at DSODE. We wish Jorja all the very best for this phase and look forward to seeing her success in the future.
