1/ Ella White (Class of 2025)
Congratulations to Ella White (Class of 2025), who presented her design interpretation for ‘Watermark’, her 2025 examination piece, at the Melbourne Recital Centre last week.
Ella was chosen from hundreds of students to present at the prestigious Top Class Theatre Studies event as an exemplar design showcasing her thorough dramaturgy and her creative interpretation of this Verbatim theatre piece exploring the devasting Katherine floods.
2/ David Willing (Class of 1995)
3/ Edward Vaughan (Class of 2010)
Edward Vaughan is introducing Beat Ball, a fast-paced team sport that blends elements of basketball, handball, running, and controlled contact into a single high-energy game focused on speed, agility, teamwork, and creativity. Designed to be easy to learn but challenging to master, it encourages players to take on different roles and use a mix of physical and strategic skills while keeping gameplay continuous and engaging. The sport will be trialled through sessions where students can learn the rules, play matches, and help shape how the game develops, with the long-term goal of building a fully structured and evolving sport created in collaboration with its players.
