The Brightest Star of 2023

Zerda Buyukertas

Thank you to our sponsors
We would like to thank all of our sponsors, whose continued support helps us to celebrate our Stars of 2023.

We are privileged to be associated with and supported by such a wonderfully generous group of sponsors, from individual patrons to local businesses and organisations.

Our performers

Our phenomenally talented students always rise to the occasion, and our Stars or 2023 ceremony saw some fantastic performances including impressive renditions of ‘Come What May’, ‘Don’t Rain on my Parade’, a beautiful acoustic vocal set, as well as a contemporary dance performance called ‘Confinement’.

Our thanks to: Michaela Hendrick-Paul, Joseph Firth, Jessica Etchells, Annie Hitchcock, Lily Cooper, Jed Hale, Ivor Elkin, Rachel Gillott
