The Plain English-Speaking Award is an international competition sponsored by the Australia/ British Society run through the NSW Department of Education Arts Unit.  This year, Lucy Beale (Year 11) was successful in reaching the NSW State final of this prestigious event. The competition required six finalists from across the State to present an eight-minute speech on a topic of social significance as well as a four-minute impromptu speech. Lucy delivered an outstanding performance in the prepared section of the competition, exploring the human bone trade and the right of all humans to rest in peace.

Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts acknowledge the Wadi Wadi people of the Dharawal Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet. We acknowledge the Elders, past, present and future, of this land as well as Elders of the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These Elders hold the traditions, the dreams, the hopes and the culture that has been kept alive for thousands of years. Our school lies between the sacred site of Mt Geera and the five islands which are significant figures in Dharawal dreaming stories. These stories pass on the traditions, practices and customs that have sustained the oldest living culture in the world to this day. In between the mountains and the sea we meet together in harmony and stand firm in the reminder that this land is, was, and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
