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?

Through School of Instrumental Music I taught at JCCA for a number of years. There are a lot of good teachers there and a lot of good thing happening there and I don't want that to be forgotten. In specific answer to your question: My time there I saw a lot of students being called for what I saw as excessive hours of rehearsals. I honestly believed that if a professional production tried to call a student for these sort of hours they would have been in trouble with MEAA. It didn't happen every week, it didn't happen with every student but it was a problem. They may have changed their ways but a lot of the same people are still there.
