Hellie Painter, Year 11, is celebrating after being nominated by the drama committee at Mid Somerset Festival to take part in the Bath Young Actor of the Year event in October.

This is a great honour for Hellie to be nominated as she is one of only three candidates in the senior section. She will perform a recital programme on a theme incorporating at least three elements, one being an acting piece, and will be judged by a distinguished adjudicator, at Bath University on 15th October.

Many congratulations Hellie and good luck in October!
