“Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.”

A huge congratulations to Isabella, Gypsy, Lucy and Sarah on their fantastic WIDA Major Exam results!

❤️ Isabella - Grade 8 - Distinction
❤️ Gypsy - TMRF1 - Distinction
❤️ Lucy - TMRF1 - Distinction
❤️ Sarah - TMRF1 - Distinction

All four dancers achieved results well above 90%!

And there was certainly plenty of preparation! For the past two terms, these four have added an extra class to their week to work on ceilis (dancing and teaching), theory, written exam preparation and, of course, plenty of dancing.

They walked into their exams in front of three international examiners well prepared and ready to show what they knew, and came away with some wonderful and constructive feedback.

We are incredibly proud of the commitment they have shown, the way they supported each other throughout their preparation and the work they put in to achieve these results.

A huge congratulations also to the other TC candidates from around Australia on their fantastic results. It was wonderful to welcome you all to Claddagh HQ and to host such an important part of your teaching journey.

A huge day at Claddagh HQ today, hosting the WIDA Major Exams for 2026! ❤️A big thank you to Macie, Ayla, Ruby, Dempsey,...

A huge day at Claddagh HQ today, hosting the WIDA Major Exams for 2026! ❤️

A big thank you to Macie, Ayla, Ruby, Dempsey, Darcy, Ashlyn and Mollie for assisting with the solo and ceili teaching portions of the exams.

You were so attentive, listened beautifully and stepped up when you were needed. So proud of you all!

Being chosen to assist with a major exam is a pretty special honour, and not something we take lightly.

Today was our 4Cs in action… building Confidence, sharing our Culture, thinking creatively and contributing to our Community.

Such a special opportunity to be trusted with, and you represented Claddagh beautifully. ❤️

A little sneak peek into some of our senior classes this week … concert work is definitely underway!

We’re keeping the Brush Dance a secret until concert… but honestly, the bloopers might be just as good as the actual dance 😂❤️
