I didn't say no-one in london has heard of waapa, i am sure many ppl have especially if they know ppl who have been there or are australian as it is a very prestigous name in oz, I said the ppl I knew in the industry. You mentioned a large music theatre school in london?? there are hundreds of them, much more than in oz, I know ppl who went to RADA, ARTS, GSA, Mountview, Laine, Royal Acadamy of Music, Royal Scottish Acadamy and others. All I was saying was each country has it's own prestigious performing schools which are more imprtant to them and rightfully so as our performing schools should be more important to us than any from overseas. But my point at the end of the day was that it's up to you, your talent and your drive if you want to succeed, you have to make a name and reputation for yourself, not rely on the name and reputation of the institution you trained at to get you through! And congrats to all successful auditionees for everywhere in oz this year!!

CHOOKAS!
