The day finally dawned… After months of preparation, esteemed adjudicator Mr Brits arrived. A Speech & Drama Festival was held on September 11 and 12 at St Gregory’s Primary School.

Many children entered different events, with one learner entering 12 different events and achieving an A+ for each item. Mr Brits and Mrs Russell were mesmerised and entertained by the poems, monologues, advertisements, news at eight, show and tell, dramatic movement, sight-reading, mime, solo themes and much, much more.
The talent was unbelievable and the learners really made a huge effort with costumes, props, and make-up, studying poems and practicing for weeks in advance.
The results were outstanding: 58 A+s, 14 As and 9 Bs. Mr Brits was very encouraging to the learners who suffered from an attack of nerves and stage fright.
“Thanks, Mr Brits, for being a gracious, professional and kind adjudicator. It’s always a pleasure having you at St Gregory’s Primary and the school looks forward to another year of drama, drama, drama!” is the message from the school.
