Exemplary 2014 Higher School Certificate (HSC) Drama and Dance students will perform at the Seymour Centre over February for the OnSTAGE and CALLBACK showcases.

Mr Tom Alegounarias, President of the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) congratulated the students who were selected for the two BOSTES showcases.

“OnSTAGE for Drama students and CALLBACK for Dance students represent some of the most talented young stage performers in the state.

BOSTES has a series of annual showcases which like OnSTAGE and CALLBACK are testimony to the quality of the NSW curriculum, teachers and schools – and of course the dedication, creativity and hardwork of our HSC students.

“For current and future HSC dance and drama students the showcases are valuable opportunities to see the high standards that can be achieved. For the wider community the showcases are their opportunity to see the amazing creativity of our school students.

This year’s OnSTAGE season previewed on Saturday 7 February 2015 and runs from Monday 9 to Friday 13 February 2013 at 1.30 pm and 7.30 pm in the York Theatre, Seymour Centre and features:
