But this year she will head to Melbourne to study musical theatre at Patrick School of the Arts.
Georgia has lived in Cambridge all her life. Her mother, Natalie, is an administrator and her father, Stephen, is an international bloodstock auctioneer. She has two older brothers, Mitchell and Matt, who both live in Australia.
Her uncle, Lloyd Spencer Davis, is a scientist and an authority on penguins, and a writer, photographer and filmmaker whose honours include a Fulbright Fellowship, an Anzac Fellowship and a Prince and Princess of Wales Science Award.
Georgia studied biology, mathematics, English, drama and music in 2025 and won the Lala Family Trophy for Excellence and Commitment to the Performing Arts and the Year 11-13 Drama Award for Individual Excellence in Drama Performance.
She has been involved with school productions of Shrek Jr, Camp Rock, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, School of Rock, Mary Poppins Jr, Anastasia, Newsies Jr, The Pirate Queen, Catch Me If You Can and Elf Jr.
For her performance as Evleen in The Pirate Queen she was named Best Supporting Actress in a Youth Production at the Zony Awards, which recognise performance and production excellence in Musical Theatre New Zealand’s central North Island region.
Georgia has also been involved in the St Peter’s Drama Club, Musical Theatre Academy, Glee Club, Beatz dance troupe, Jazz Band, Voice Collective and Chapel Band.
Over her time at the school she has been a year 7 prefect, performing arts ambassador and performing arts music captain.
When she’s not on stage, she enjoys playing football and spending time with friends and family.
The talented student has also given a number of performances at retirement villages and rest homes. Earlier this year, she teamed up with friend Ava Kirk to run a fundraising event at the Cambridge Town Hall, raising more than $2500 for MusicHelps, a national charity that uses music to help and heal people around Aotearoa.
Of her move to Melbourne, she expected the biggest challenge would be stepping outside of familiar surroundings and getting herself comfortable with new people.
“However, this is also something that I am looking forward to.
“If I am to give any advice to current students, it’s to never give up, and to always try new things.
“Take every opportunity you are given, even if it feels intimidating or outside of your comfort zone, because those moments are where the most growth happens. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; they are a vital part of learning and improving as a performer.”
