Congratulations to the Trinity students who performed at the Otago/Southland TheatreFest last weekend.
A group of Year 12 students presented a short comedic piece at the drama festival called Bad At Being Bad, written and directed by Riley Culling and Sophie Jonathan.
TheatreFest this year included seven performances from schools and community theatre groups. It provided a fantastic array of different dramatic styles and was a great opportunity for our drama students to display and share their skills and passion.

At the end of the Festival, the Trinity group received three awards:
