2019 HSC ENCORE
ENCORE is a program of outstanding performances and compositions by students from the HSC Music examinations. We are immensely proud of Brooklyn Wright whose Musicology Viva Voce for the Higher School Certificate Music course was identified as exemplary. The online program for the ENCORE 2019 HSC concert will acknowledge her achievement in an honour roll of students. This is a first student from our school whose Viva Voce has been identified as exemplary. This is an outstanding result. Brooklyn had prepared so well, due particularly to the attention from her teachers over the year. Her practice in the weeks and days prior to the examination was phenomenal. Congratulations also to Mr. Mayes, her Music teacher on this achievement.
This year, the standard of achievement in Creative Arts has been exemplary. Our school has been nominated in every Creative Arts subject; ARTEXPRESS (Visual Arts), ONSTAGE (Drama) and with this selection; ENCORE (Music). With this nomination in the HSC Showcase event ENCORE, means that our school in the only school in the diocese and region that has achieved this standard across all Creative Arts subjects.
At John Therry Catholic High, we believe in providing opportunities to develop skills that will prepare our students for whatever field of endeavour they choose. Our Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) students are taught complex problem solving, critical thinking and creativity, all skills believed to be at the core of tomorrow’s leaders. Thank you to our Senior CAPA staff on these outstanding achievements.
Mr. Stephen Peters
Creative Arts Coordinator
