Student Success Stories: Lead role in the Hunger Games for Kaitlyn!
We were already having an incredible month for Student Success at Mark Jermin, with so many epic opportunities for our talented students – and then right at the end of the month the brilliant Kaitlyn Akinpelumi blew us out the water!
We can now reveal Kaitlyn has been chosen for a lead role in the upcoming Hunger Games prequel – The Ballard of Songbirds and Snakes – such a huge achievement and we’re so very proud of her. She’s mentioned in this article by the US-based Deadline (with a Mark Jermin mention too, which was very nice of them!).
The latest instalment in the billion-dollar Hunger Games franchise hits screens in 2023 and we can’t wait to see Kaitlyn light it up with her MJ magic!
