Practical subjects examined soon

Some Brisbane Water Secondary College students are facing the examiners in practical subjects very soon, even though the written examinations for the HSC are still some time off, according to college principal Mr Pat Lewis.

"Much midnight oil is being spent in putting the finishing touches to major works and it is not uncommon to see teachers and students leaving the campus well after dark after putting in extra hours to their works," Mr Lewis said.

"Many of these works were on display at an outstanding Year 12 Showcase at the senior campus last week.

"The large audience in attendance were able to roam among art works, pottery and ceramics, photography, clothing, and amazing furniture items made in wood technology.

"This was followed by outstanding performances in dance, drama and singing by an extremely talented array of students.

"With such works and performances to be presented to examiners, the college is sure to again excel when HSC results are announced in December."
