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?

there are some good

there are some good comments on here about JC but if you want your daughter to go there its up to you to choose, you have nothing to lose really apply and if your daughter gets in, and finds she or you decide its not what you want you can pull out at least you would have tried, and not go thur life with the what ifs, My boy in his first year musical theatre, and loves it, just doesnt like the travel, LOL. but he wakes up looking forward to going to school he never was one for doing homework but hes so keen now, because he knows that if he doesnt do well with the academics they will not be allowed to do shows etc, ( so it works ) with regards to kids being friendly hes loving that to, hes never had so many friends, because they are all there for the same reason, to study the arts what ever it may be, musical theatre, as well as the others arts put shows on thru out the years, there is some out side schl days rehearsals, which we are doing now, on saturdays, so if you dont mind that and it doesnt clash we will continue to do outside things, that is my sons choice not mine but i agree its a matter fitting in and timing we decided that the next outside show we do, will be on during the jan schl holidays if you sit down and work things out , it can happen that you do both schl and outside, everything is just trial and error, try it dont work then dont go down that path why not give JC a phone call, and explain what you have said on here about living in country etc, and you never know they might be able to fit her in they are still holding auditions, for musical theatre, and drama, as some friends of mine are doing them soon give them a call, iam sure there are kids that come from differnt countrys or ever over east and they might be able to try if you dont ask youll never know give it a go
