Did someone say… SHOWCASES? ALREADY?!?!
Dear Students and Families,
We’ve had a fantastic start to the year, thanks to the enthusiasm and energy of our students and the dedication of our staff. Events like our drama camp and holiday workshops have been a huge success, showcasing the talents and creativity of our students. We’d like to extend a special thank you to all the staff and volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make these events possible. We’re also grateful for the ongoing support of our families, which makes a real difference in the lives of our students. We’re excited to see what the rest of the year brings and look forward to working together.
Welcome back to Term 2!

Have fun Jake!
Although we have, unfortunately had to say goodbye to our beloved Acting for Stage and Act, Dance, Sing teacher, Jake Waterworth, after having to take an unexpected leave of absense… We are excited to announce that Jake’s reason for leaving is due to an exciting opportunity…
Jake Waterworth has been cast as Danny Dog in PEPPA PIG’S FUN DAY OUT LIVE!
Welcome Meg!
With the departure of Jake, we have been working on this change for the past week and in the last couple of weeks in Term 1, students were introduced to their new teacher, Meg Williams.
Having just graduated from the VCA (Music Theatre), Meg has worked with a range of leading industry professionals which has helped cultivate a passion for teaching the next generation of talented young performers.
Meg is so excited to be apart of such a hard-working, generous and knowledgable group of teachers at ADS and is eager to be in classes with all of our wonderful students.
Now… ONTO TERM 2!
