One of the highlights of being part of YAB is YABfest — a national event where members collaborate to bring short productions to life. Thinking back to the short play Dreams that Miranda and I wrote for Perth Modern’s entry in the 2023 Platform Drama Festival — a piece exploring capitalism and the cost-of-living crisis through the eyes of young people — I decided to submit it to YABfest on a whim. A few weeks later, I got the news: Dreams was

Year 11 ATAR Drama presents: The Caucasian Chalk Circle
Our talented Year 11 Drama students are proud to bring Bertolt Brecht’s bold and thought-provoking play to life — a powerful story of justice, sacrifice, and love.
Set during a time of revolution, the play follows Grusha, a servant who risks everything to protect an abandoned child. Years later, a dramatic courtroom battle unfolds to decide who truly deserves custody — the birth mother or the woman who raised him. A chalk circle is drawn. The test begins.
This energetic and inventive production features Brecht’s signature theatrical style, including direct audience address, live music, and storytelling that will make you think and feel.
📅 Dates: 15 & 16 September 2025
🕖 Time: 7.00pm
📍 Venue: Casey Drama Centre
🎟️ Tickets: $15 — www.trybooking.com/DEKGC
We’d love to see you there for a memorable night of theatre!
🥪 Making a Difference, One Sandwich at a Time! 🥪 This term, a dedicated group of Perth Modern students from all year levels have been coming together on Wednesday afternoons for a special cause — making sandwiches for those in need. Organised by Rotary Interact, each session sees around 20 students preparing sandwiches that are then delivered to The Beacon, the Salvos’ homeless shelter in Northbridge. For those unable to attend, many have still contributed by donating supplies — a true team effort! It’s been heartwarming to see such strong student participation and community spirit. 💛 #PerthModern #RotaryInteract #CommunityService #StudentInitiative #GivingBack
