Following a long and successful tenure, Emma has now officially stepped down from her role as School Principal, with Bella stepping into her position of School Manager, effective immediately.
Emma has worked closely alongside Vincent since 2012 and played an integral role in shaping the school's vision & mission since 2014. Her dedication over the past years leaves a lasting legacy that Bella is keen to not only fulfill but elevate further for the ever-changing performing arts industry.
“It has been a privilege to work alongside Vince and an honour to get to know our wonderful families over the years. Watching your children grow in confidence has been the most rewarding part of my job." Emma Cooper-King.
"While the time is right for Emma to close this chapter of her theatre school journey, we are immensely grateful for everything she has contributed to our students, staff, and community. She leaves behind a fantastic foundation." Vincent Wootton, Principal of DMT School
Bella steps into the role of School Manager, taking over operational leadership for the next academic year after demonstrating exceptional commitment, leadership, and professional growth within the organisation. In her new capacity, she will oversee:
- Day-to-day operations
- Student and customer experience
- Performance scheduling
- Strategic expansion initiatives for the school
“It is a great privilege to hand Bella the operational keys to help take DMT School to the next level. Bella has worked extremely hard and shown impressive drive to develop her professional skill set. I personally cannot wait to see her thrive in her new role as School Manager.” Vincent Wootton, Principal of DMT School
This transition marks an exciting new chapter for DMT School as it continues to deliver top-tier musical theatre and dance training, building on its core foundation while introducing expanded opportunities.
