St Mark's Teacher Awarded Prestigious International Scholarship

St Mark’s is proud to celebrate an exciting achievement by our Head of Drama and Production, Mr Chris McRae, who has been awarded the highly regarded 2026 Travel Gang Theatre Educator Scholarship.

Selected from a field of leading performing arts educators from across Australia and New Zealand, Mr McRae has earned a fully funded international professional development experience in the United States in 2027.

The scholarship recognises excellence in theatre education and acknowledges Mr McRae’s passion for nurturing young performers, his commitment to creative learning, and the outstanding performing arts culture he has helped build at St Mark’s.

This remarkable opportunity will allow Mr McRae to connect with industry professionals, explore innovative theatre practices, and bring fresh ideas and inspiration back to our students and wider school community.

We congratulate Mr McRae on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to seeing the positive impact of this experience on our Drama and Production programs in the years ahead.
