HSC CAPA SHOWCASE 2023
On Thursday August 31st , we celebrated the talents of our HSC Creative Arts students in Drama, Music and Visual Arts. There was standing room only for both the Drama and Music performances which took place in the lower hall, and F block respectively. After these the Visual Arts bodies of works were exhibited in E3 and E4.
For these students the sometimes-daunting experience of creating a body of work, performance or project is intellectually rigorous, time consuming and demands a healthy dose of bravery-not to mention a substantial amount of resilience. All skills that are lifelong lessons as students move into their post- school life. This Showcase represented a wide variety of expressive forms from individual performances, group performances and exhibitions of submitted works. It enabled students to challenge themselves and embrace areas of creativity that ignite a sense of passion and awe. The enormous value of creating, the important role aesthetics and the significance of expression are all bound up in this same experience.
Our students in Creative Arts know the value of it. They know they can transform ideas into
physical representations and as such reflect their capabilities as thinkers, learners and creators.
The final result is inspiring and truly worthy of celebration as exemplified in our annual HSC Showcase night.
I would like to thank all those in our Creative Arts faculty and in particular our other HSC teachers;
Mr Alexander Hayden (Drama) and Mr Scott Macdonald (Music). Finally, I wish to congratulate each student for completing such accomplished, sensitive and thought-provoking performances and practical submissions.
