Drama and Music ex-students

Sarah Spicer — Aug 16, 2014

Two ex-students came back to school to share their experiences on the international stage.

Abby Wolfe's trip to the World Champs of Performing Arts in Hollywood saw her receive a number of medals. She also has music producers interested in her, and she had a number of meetings with people in the industry and call-backs.

She won:

  • 1 Bronze for New Zealand's group performance of "Royals."
  • 1 Bronze for her individual performance of "I Cant Make You Love Me."
  • 1 Silver for her guitar accompanied performance of "Give Me Love."
  • 1 Silver for her original song "Run Away."

and the Team Spirit Award went to Team New Zealand!

Matthew Scadden was selected as one of the top 20 actors in New Zealand last year to represent NZ at the Globe in London.

He was chosen after acting in the NZ Secondary Schools' Sheilah Winn Shakespeare festival in Wellington, having been part of our school's regional winning team.
