SAVE THE DATE: HSC Drama Showcase

An evening showcasing Individual and Group Major Work Projects.

The HSC Drama Showcase will be held on Friday 18 August in the Performance Theatre and will commence at 6pm sharp.

This is an event you don’t want to miss! It is set to be an entertaining evening and a wonderful opportunity for our students to showcase their creativity, hard work and dedication in creating their Individual and Group Major Works. It is also an important opportunity for them to receive some additional feedback ahead of their HSC Performance Exam to be held later in Term 3.

All family, friends staff and students are welcome, however, please be advised that if young children are to be present, some performances contain mature language and themes.
