In an environment that can often be not what you know but who you know... any tips on how to get my daughter into John Curtin? 

I just discovered I've missed the application date for NEXT year by just a few weeks :(  15 March they closed :( 

There are limited opps where we live and it really does appear to be who you know here rather than what you know.

She wants to get to WAAPA eventually.

Ideas?

re doing outside shows, we have heard that also, but that as i see is our choice, and not their business, as long as my son can do both and he doesnt have anything else out side of school, then not up to them I would put my son into shows, as it can only help not hinder surley as they will put into good use what they learn at school, we did several shows, in a amateur theatre, and there were quiet a few young people in it, that also attended john curtin.it should be a parents choice, as to wether they do outside things but why should kids who do outside shows, be frowned upon when there are kids doing sports, ( which i would say would be more of a worry due to injuries ) having said that john curtin is not the end of the world, as said do local amateru theatre shows, attend dancing schls, you can still apply for waapa.
