A special congratulations also goes to Mrs Jacqui Meskin, Subject Head of Dramatic Arts, who was awarded a medal at the Cape Town prizegiving in recognition of the consistently high standard and professionalism of Herzlia’s participants.
With schools and private drama studios from across the region taking part, these results speak not only to talent, but to the hours of preparation, confidence, courage and hard work that happen long before a pupil steps onto the stage.
Drama gives our pupils the chance to find their voice, take creative risks and grow in confidence and we are enormously proud of the way they represented Herzlia this year.
Mazaltov to every pupil who took part and to Jacqui and the Drama Department for another superb Eisteddfod season.
