Our Year 10 Drama class under the tutelage of Ms Townsend competed in the Dramatic Minds festival last week. In a great outcome, the Year 10 class were awarded winners of the event, outperforming drama groups from West Wyalong, Coolamon, Ariah Park, Junee and St Anne's Temora.
The Dramatic Minds Festival aims to de-stigmatise mental health and provide students with accurate information about mental health illness and where help is available, through researching, developing and performing short plays based on mental health issues, alongside other schools from the region.
Our students worked very hard developing their performance and performed this twice on Thursday, once in front of over 200 students and on the Thursday evening matinee session.
Year 9 attended the festival to view the THS performance, as well as a number of other schools, further developing their understanding of mental health and skills to help others.
The Dramatic Minds Festival coincides with "R U OK?" day, raising awareness of mental health in the wider community and connecting people.
