Greater Western Sydney Drama Ensembles

The Greater Western Sydney (GWS) Drama Ensembles are open to talented and interested drama students in Years 5 to 12 from NSW public schools.

In 2024 there will be 2 GWS drama ensembles

• GWS Junior Drama Ensemble for students in Year 5 to Year 8
• GWS Senior Drama Ensemble for students in Year 9 to Year 12. 

The ensembles provide an engaging and supportive environment in which students are provided with the opportunity to be challenged and extended in their knowledge and skills of drama.  Students will have the opportunity to work with industry drama practitioners and teachers from the NSW Department of Education to refine and develop their performance skills.

Both ensembles rehearse from 12 pm to 4 pm at Penrith Selective High School on four Saturdays in Term 2 and one rehearsal in Term 3 in preparation to perform at various metropolitan drama festivals at the end of Term 2 and mid Term 3.
