Oni joined BCS for Sixth Form as a boarder and excelled in Performing Arts. Oni became involved in a number of school activities and was awarded the position of Head Girl. Oni secured leading roles as Eliza Doolittle in ’My Fair Lady’ and the Witch in ’Into the Woods’ performing on stage at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre as part of the school’s annual show. Oni gained leadership and career support by directing the Summer Production ‘Arabian Nights’ with a personal Drama mentor to guide her. Oni is now studying Acting at Plymouth University.

”Prior to being at BCS, I hadn’t done a huge amount of acting or dance but alongside my A levels I was presented with the most amazing opportunities and experiences; which opened up a whole new path for me. The skills and qualities that the Performing Arts Department helped me develop led me to receive an unconditional offer at Plymouth University Conservatoire to study Acting which is a massive achievement and I will be forever grateful to the staff for getting me to where I am today."

Onioluwa is now an Actor, Model and Movement Director based in the South West. She graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Acting from Plymouth Conservatoire in 2023. She co-founded Embers Ignite Theatre company with Directing graduate, Megan Berridge in her second year of the course. Their first play ‘Everyone Except SHE’, has been supported by Theatre Royal Plymouth and will soon be going into rehearsal stages. Onioluwa has modelled for PureGym, Aviela Skincare and Reds Paddleboard Co. She performed in Gobbledegook Theatre’s ‘Ear Trumpet’ in 2023 and will soon be travelling to Spain to perform in their next show ‘Geophonic’. Onioluwa’s next project is a puppeteering role in Patch’s Parade in the opening of Salisbury International Arts Festival 2024.

"Acting has become a huge passion of mine and I have lots of dreams for the future, none of which would be possible without the excellent teaching and guidance I received during my time at BCS. The performances I did, the shows I saw and the support I got have shaped me into the aspiring actress I am today.”
