We are thrilled to share that our September Practical Examinations were a resounding success, showcasing some truly exceptional results! Linda Nottingham, our examiner, expressed her admiration for the high standard of performance from candidates in KwaZulu-Natal. Notably, this marks our largest face-to-face session since the pandemic, a significant milestone for our community.
Looking ahead, we’re excited about the upcoming Drama Exams at the end of October. Appointment slips have been dispatched, and we’re pleased to announce that Peter Thomson will be our examiner. Many of you may also be familiar with his wife, renowned composer Sally Beamish. The couple is currently enjoying South Africa’s beautiful sights while visiting family, with Peter also set to examine in Cape Town.
In addition, we’re happy to report that entries for the November Theory Exams have closed, and we’ve seen a substantial increase in participation. It’s wonderful to see this session continue to gain popularity!
Best wishes to all our candidates as we move forward into this busy and exciting season!
