Papanui High School Drama Group Visit
On March 21st we were delighted to host Jay Grubb, Head of Drama at Papanui High (centre), and four of her talented students who put on a great show for us.
Jay expressed the school’s appreciation of the support we provided via the funding of an LED light that has been amazing and will continue to be well-used both for local and away performances as it adds real value to the department’s activities.
Jay’s interest in drama began when she was 8 years old and she has had the opportunity to be in a wide variety of shows as both an actor and director. She started teaching drama at Pap High 15 years ago and finds the students value that she can practice what she preaches. Her particular passion is for comedy.
Based on the principles of hope, compassion and thoughtfulness, Jay feels that drama equips her students a wide range of generic tools that they can take with them on life’s journey.
The group is currently the South Island Theatre Sports champions and they are all aspiring to take their passion for drama further.
The Group in Action!
