She is dedicated to learning and enjoys challenging herself with enrichment opportunities. Charlotte approached her projects with passion and enthusiasm. The painting that she completed this term was from a photo that she had taken, and it reflects good memories. Her attention to detail with the contrasting darks and lights is an accurate representation of the memorable scene. Congratulations, Charlotte!

Nicholas Lowe ‘26 is a Grade 9 student who brings imagination and heart to drama. Whether he is improvising a short scene or spontaneously performing a sketch, Nic brings a mature quality of character that makes you want to watch his every move and follow his dialogue with intrigue and delight. In addition, Nic can read a monologue with meaningful emphasis and timing that gives a depth of feeling to his delivery. He is a great addition to our drama class.
Alonso Rubio ‘27 is a Grade 8 drama student who is a natural at delivery and performance when it comes to improvisation sketches or character delivery. He has a strong command of language and clearly articulates dialogue, giving shape to the beginning and ending of a skit through intonation, timing, pauses, and it is done so with emotion. He is a great addition to our drama class.
