A massive congratulations to Xirui Xu for winning the Junior Ballet Scholarship at the 2026 Sydney Eisteddfod 🏆

This achievement carries a beautiful echo, as it was exactly 9 years ago (in 2017) that her teacher and mentor Mr Hao was honoured to be an adjudicator for this very competition.

Today, he watched proudly from the sidelines, witnessing his student’s moment of triumph on the stunning Sydney Opera House stage. A heartfelt thank you to Ms Ningning and the entire QDC team for their countless effort and support throughout this journey, and to Sydney for this precious opportunity.

The true magic of ballet happens when dedication, hard work, and world-class coaching collide.

Soak it all in Xirui Xu —you‘ve made us all so proud! 👏✨
