Grace Burroughs, a 16-year-old GSLC student, has garnered numerous praises on her journey toward her big dream to become a professional musical theatre actress and regularly perform on the West End in London.
Since the age of six, Grace has had a passion for singing, ballet, playing the piano, and acting.
Over the years, she has successfully achieved distinctions in all her Trinity College of London Classical Vocal and Musical Theatre, as well as AMEB singing exams.
