Sarah C - Class of 2018

Public Education Week 2024
Image: I was privileged to be accepted as a performing arts student at Nepean CAPA from Year 9-12 and graduated in 2018. As a dance student I had so many opportunities to train and perform in a wide range of dance genres, representing the school in many in-house and external performances. The access to state of the art facilities and industry professionals was invaluable. I was taught by a team of extremely talented and passionate teachers, who provided so much practical and valuable support and insight. They spent many hours of their own time with me. As an art student I was blessed with highly experienced teachers who really helped me to achieve my potential and push boundaries as an artist. They provided an environment which always encouraged freedom of creative expression and they were pivotal to me achieving a place in ArtExpress. I am forever grateful to Nepean CAPA for providing a solid platform for me to pursue my Performing Arts dream. I went on to complete a 2 year Advanced Diploma in Performing Arts at ED5 International. I have recently completed two 8 month contracts with Carnival Cruise Lines as a Dancer and Singer on their largest ships - Celebration and Panorama. I will be relocating to the UK later this year to continue my journey in the performing arts world.

Cooper M - Class of 2014

Public Education Week 2024
Image: Before I graduated high school in 2014, I grappled with uncertainty about my future. However, my time at Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School proved to be pivotal, as I earned my Certificate III in the entertainment industry, which set me on a trajectory toward realizing my aspirations. Over the past eight and a half years, I have honed my skills within an audio-visual company, overseeing a diverse array of events ranging from corporate audio-visual setups to large-scale productions, including intricate lighting rigs, LED screen displays, and concert audio systems. In collaboration with my talented team, we have engineered immersive experiences that not only elevate artists but also adapt to the fluid dynamics of the audio-visual landscape. This industry is constantly reshaped by technological advancements, societal transformations, and evolving audience preferences, making it a vibrant reflection of our collective experiences. This journey has been profoundly rewarding. I began my career as a junior technician and ascended to the role of project coordinator before becoming the venue’s audio-visual technical services manager. Today, I take great pride in my position as the operations manager of the company. I am convinced that without the foundational knowledge and invaluable experience I gained from the VET entertainment program at Nepean High School, I would not have reached my current level of success.

Jacqui D - Class of 2017

Public Education Week 2024
Image: Since graduating in 2017, I performed as a Featured Artist in that year’s Schools Spectacular, and graduated from the Talent Development Project. I further studied musical theatre at Brent Street and Griffith University (now QAEMT), and now continue to audition for many shows, independent and commercial, across Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Last year, I performed in the Australian national tour of Winnie the Pooh, The New Musical Stage Adaptation, which played at the Riverside in Parramatta and the Sydney Opera House. I also feature on the newly-released EP “The White Rose”, a new musical written and developed by Australian creatives. When not performing, I’ve been teaching drama at Stage School Australia and working at Marriner Group, who manage many major theatres in Melbourne. I also work at Your DNA Creative Arts, a disability day service offering exceptional creative and performing arts programs, and just performed in a short film written and produced by their Advanced Film program, coming soon! One of the biggest lessons I learnt at Nepean was how powerful and necessary the arts are to all people in all communities, and I’m thrilled to continue to share the love and passion I discovered and cultivated at high school. Many, many thanks to the staff at Nepean for generously sharing their passion with us, and continuing to support alumni beyond graduation. I’ve loved watching and cheering on fellow alumni making magic in the arts, and I can’t wait to cheer on future Nepean superstars!
