Students, parents and school staff are reminded that nomination for an HSC showcase does not indicate a particular mark for the student's major work or performance. There are many factors involved in final selection for a showcase event or exhibition such as the ability to transport a major project and the need to show a mix of performances or projects that demonstrate the scope of the relevant syllabus. Most importantly, there are limits on the number of performances or works that can be included in any one year. Inevitably, there are many outstanding students who are not nominated or, having been nominated, are not selected for the final showcase.

Bookings - Details on how to book HSC showcase events will be available on the exhibition and events page as they are finalised. Students and teachers should also check future Board Bulletin publications for booking details.
