SPOTLIGHT ON TALENTED COFFS COAST HSC STUDENTS

Six Coffs Coast creators and innovators from the 2021 HSC will be celebrated alongside a selection of their top classmates in the HSC Showcases.

Each year, the HSC Showcases display a selection of top major works of students across visual arts, performing arts and technologies.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said this is a great opportunity for local young people to have their achievements, creativity and innovation shared with the local and broader community.

“Our young people should be extremely proud of what they have achieved – not only completing the HSC in a year like no other, but producing work of such high quality,” Mr Singh said.

“To see their work up on display should fill them with pride and confidence – it is no small feat to be included in an HSC Showcase.”

Our local ambassadors are:

  • Liana Marie Cook, Coffs Harbour Christian Community School
  • William Mackie, Bishop Druitt College
  • James Thompson, Coffs Harbour Senior College
  • Amy Leigh Knott, Coffs Harbour Senior College
  • Francoise Dik, Coffs Harbour Senior College
  • Connor Duncan McMillan, Bishop Druitt College.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the local students were part of only 260 HSC graduates to have been selected from across the state to be featured in the HSC showcases.

“I’m so proud of these talented students and I strongly encourage our local schools, teachers and community members to get along and take a look at this year’s showcases and to celebrate their incredible work,” Ms Mitchell said.

“It’s also really exciting that this year CALLBACK, ENCORE, OnSTAGE and SHAPE 2021 Seminars will be available for schools to watch online, from wherever they are in NSW.”

ARTEXPRESS is now on at the Art Gallery of NSW, and at limited venues across the state throughout the year.
