NIKKI Webster has gone back to school. The 23-year-old has landed her first lead film role, shooting independent feature Short Beach around Sydney in recent weeks.

Webster’s been cast as V, a schoolgirl, in the “teen beach movie” also starring Johnny Boxer and Matt Zeremes.

“This role is fun because I wasn’t at school a lot in years 11 and 12, so I never got to be that girly girl,” she said.

“I missed that – I was too busy designing a clothing range and releasing music.”

Webster has started her own performance school at Stanmore in Sydney’s inner west, specialising in singing, dancing and drama classes for children aged five to 16.

“It’s hard running your own business but it allows me to share my experiences with the kids and teach them,” she said.

“I love it. The benefits of having your own business and watching it grow is so rewarding.”

Webster, who gained fame after starring in the Sydney Olympics opening ceremony, recently got engaged to 31-year-old Matthew McMah who works in the aviation industry.

The pair have yet to set a date
