HSC Major Works Exhibition

Next Wednesday 3 September, the College will exhibit this year’s HSC Major Works in the Mary MacKillop Art Centre and Robson Auditorium, commencing at 6:00 PM.

The exhibition will showcase works from the faculties of Visual Arts and Technological and Applied Studies, representing the culmination of months of dedicated hard work by many young men of the Class of 2025.

The exhibition is an acknowledgement and celebration of the sustained effort and acquisition of knowledge and skills required over many months to undertake a major HSC project. Each work must demonstrate a conscious and purposeful style that has been individually developed and refined to demonstrate integrity and craftsmanship.

I’m sure that as parents/carers, friends and teachers walk through the exhibition, they will be duly impressed and feel a great sense of pride.

I wish all the young men exhibiting their major works a rewarding evening and much success in the HSC.
