The Leinster School of Music & Drama Excellence Awards was first introduced in 2004 by Head of Faculty, Karen Casey, to present a national competition for students taking LSMD graded examinations in both Music and Drama. Examiners nominate students who show excellence in performing music or drama pieces. These students are then invited to take part in the callbacks/video submissions to select from the 15,000 students throughout Ireland who took part in the school’s music and drama exams this year.
Londiwe Ndlovu has been named the overall winner at the National Excellence Awards competition; she has studied here with us in our Athlone class since she came to Ireland at the tender age of 7. During her years she worked as classroom assistant in TY and loved it so much stayed on until 6th year. Londiwe is getting ready for college but intends to sit her Associate and Licentiate Diplomas in the next few years. She was nominated for her Senior Advanced Certificate in her modern portrayal of Hamlet for her Shakespeare piece and for her character of Tembi in The Game.
The overall prize for Music will include a prize of €300 and The LSMD Perpetual Silver Cup. To say we are proud is an understatement. Congratulations to Londiwe.
