As part of the program in Arts Academy run during Wednesday ACCESS, students create a submission for Shake Fest. Shake Fest, a state-wide competition run by Shake & Stir Theatre Company, provides a unique opportunity for Arts students across Queensland to focus their artistic abilities in an all-inclusive creative competition celebrating the works of William Shakespeare.

 On Friday, 7 and Saturday, 8 October 2022, Shake & Stir hosted the QLD Youth Shake Fest Festival at the La Boite Theatre, Kelvin Grove, the finals for the state-wide competition. Four of our incredibly talented students were selected from hundreds of entries to compete at this event. Congratulations to Rebekah Deenick and Kayla Nieuwoudt, who competed in the Acting (Duologue) category, Marissa Christensen, who entered in Costume Design, and Mikaylah Parker, who entered in Film.
