Shakespeare Festival 2008

Every year Coonabarabran High School participates in the Shakespeare Festival.  The school competition in 2008 will involve top English classes from Years 9, 10 and 11.

On the day, students perform either a scene or duologue from a Shakespearean play they have studied as part of their English class.  Performances from Romeo and Juliet (Yr9), Macbeth (Yr 10) and King Lear (Yr 11) featured this year.

The Festival was held on Friday 28 March.  The performances were all very entertaining, and showed our students’ dedication and rehearsal efforts.  When the students weren’t performing, they sat as an audience for their peers.  Several other junior classes also attended as audience members to watch our talented students perform.
