HSC OnSTAGE Nominations

In more fantastic news, we would like to congratulate Reagan Lloyd, Skye Wisemen, Phoebe Hines, and Ana Swaite on their OnStage Nominations for HSC Drama. OnSTAGE is the annual exhibition of HSC Drama Performances and Projects that have been deemed exemplary by NESA.

Reagan has been nominated for her Individual Performance 'The Weight of Expectation', a self devised work based on Biff from 'Death of a Salesman' and the overwhelming desire to live up a parent's expectations. Skye has been nominated for her Individual Performance 'Boot', a heartbreaking exploration of a teenage girl who survived a tragic car crash. 

In addition to our two performers, Phoebe Hines has had her Costume Design project nominated, a very clever modern interpretation of 'The Taming of the Shrew' inspired by the Karl Largerfeld years as designer for Chanel. And finally Ana Swait as been nominated for her script 'The Move', a heartwarming look at a family on their moving day as they leave the family home behind.

While ultimately neither has been selected for the final program, this nomination is truly outstanding. We are so proud of these students' achievements.
