Harrington Wright… An ordinary school?
No, not at all
Harrington Wright is a Performing Arts school. It has Drama, Dance and Singing as its main and there’s always some sort of production going on at the school. But it’s at a whole new level really, not the normal performing arts at all. They are a private school and there are very few students there compared to a normal school. You need to be good at Dance, Drama or singing to get in. Although the school has a special eye out for the Triple Threats.
For kids that can’t afford it here there are scholarships. Yet they’re like gold dust to get. Many teenagers that have attended the school have gone on to be singers, actors or dancers themselves.
What’s so brilliant about the school?
The school offers a range of dance classes from tap and contemporary to hip hop and ice dancing. Drama and singing are off the range. Every kid in the state would kill to be able to go to this “perfect” school, as the papers would say. Obviously there are some of the normal subjects as well like English and Maths etc. Not forgetting the range of sports that they offer. After all to be able to keep up with the singing, drama and dancing you have to keep yourself in pretty good shape.
Do you have what it takes to get into the school?
From the outside this school looks “perfect“, but get inside the gates and then even further into the lives of the different students that attend. The word that stands out C.L.I.Q.U.E.S, every where you turn you will see the little groups of cliques wandering the halls of the school. And none of them make it easier for the next. Its hard to try and climb your way to the top in this school; just because your good at drama, singing or dancing does not mean that you are going to do well. Here the cliques tend to make all the difference of how well you do.
Anything else?
Money will always help you out as well the more money you or your family has then the better that your going to do in the school. It’s unfair and it sucks but that’s just the way it goes when the ‘cliques clash’.
