Congratulations to all of our winners, who despite an ongoing global pandemic, danced beautifully last weekend in Brisbane

The weekend culminated with the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Jacqueline Morland Awards in Brisbane - a wonderful acknowledgement of the depth of talent and dedication to achievement which exists within the Queensland RAD community.

Congratulations to all the students and teachers who worked so hard to prepare for this year’s event and well done to all who took home the prizes:
