21.01.2022 This song always makes me both smile and cry. One of my old performing arts teachers shared it (he'll kill me for using the word old) and I felt it was the best possible way for me to post this message: I'm so excited to finally be going back to face to face classes with my students on Monday. XtrActors, you have been absolute troupers throughout our journey into the virtual world. Thank you and social distanced hugs to one and all. Here's to you. https://www.facebook.com/100003020049921/videos/2761899700587338/

11.01.2022 Saw this on a friends page and thought it was worth sharing. It doesn’t always feel easy to practice kindness, especially toward people who aren’t being kind to you. So it’s great to get a reminder sometimes. Happy kindness day all:

11.01.2022 "There is no question about it: The best theatre is collaboration. The best anything is collaboration." - Lonny Price So much of a drama class requires students to develop their skills in collaborating as a team. An important skill we can take into the rest of our lives.

11.01.2022 What a fantastic weekend for our XtrAct Seniors. Performances looked quite different this year in order to comply with Covid regulations, but our family and friends were wonderfully supportive so we could get our XtrActors up on stage. Huge congratulations to our wonderful XtrActors. Each and every one of you shone on stage and showed such wonderful support for each other. I feel blessed to share in your creative journeys. Danielle

10.01.2022 Anne Bogart is a prolific American Director, Academic and Acting Technician who brings great insight and intelligence to our craft. A great starting point for actors when looking at her work is 'The Viewpoints Book' which she co-authored with Tina Landau.

10.01.2022 What a fantastic weekend of performances from our Perfect The Prep class. They were absolute stars and really stepped it up. Every.Single.One.Of.Them. I couldn’t be prouder. Huge thanks to the family and friends who braved the shocking heat this weekend to support us, especially your willingness to play along in the game show scenes. You were all lots of fun. Here’s a few pics from our last show of the weekend. #dramaclasses #acting #theatre

10.01.2022 Ta Daaaaaa... And that’s a wrap on Term Two. Huge thanks to Jopuka Productions for hosting us for the last three weeks of term.... We’ll be back in the hall at Wyong High School from July 20th and 21st. Stay Safe over the break XtrActors and Learn Your Lines.

09.01.2022 It’s not a miracle cure, but it certainly makes a difference when someone takes a moment to connect with you and care. Love and hugs to our XtrActors today. Photo courtesy of RUOK Facebook page.

09.01.2022 It’s been a year since our last XtrAct juniors major concert. Sadly we won’t be performing this weekend as originally planned. 2020 has thrown us some real curve balls. The kids are still busy learning and rehearsing with hopeful enthusiasm for later this year.
