Talented Year 7 Scholarship student, Alannah, has once again proven her expertise in the world of dance by winning the prestigious Sir Robert Helpmann Award at the esteemed Royal Academy of Dance SA Awards. This incredible achievement marks the second consecutive year she has secured the Eileen Hogarth Award for most potential, a testament to her dedication and artistry.

The Royal Academy of Dance SA Awards attracted 115 participants from Grade 2 to Solo Seal, with the event being the longest running of its kind in Australia. Adjudicated by renowned guest teacher, Melissa McCabe, the Awards celebrate the exceptional dance talent in South Australia and recognise the passion and skill of local dancers who often go on to have remarkable careers both nationally and internationally.

Alannah's success is a source of inspiration for aspiring dancers as she gracefully took centre stage at the Awards, impressing judges and spectators alike. Her passion for ballet and her love for performing and competing, shine through, making her a well-deserved recipient of these awards.

Sue Nairn, Dance Key Teacher at Kildare College, expressed her heartfelt congratulations to Alannah, recognising not only her current achievements but also the boundless potential that lies ahead for her. With her dedication and talent, Alannah is poised to make a significant impact in the world of Performing Arts. As the recipient of the Kildare College St Brigid Performing Arts Scholarship in 2022, she has had the opportunity to explore and study her passion for dance at the College, where she has excelled as part of the Special Entry Dance class.

The College takes great pride in Alannah's achievements and eagerly looks forward to her growth and development as a student at Kildare.
