Senior Schools programs at NAS

2022-05-04

Two very successful Senior Schools programs ran on campus last week, the 2022 Dobell Drawing School for Year 11 and the last module of the 2021 HSC Intensive which finally went ahead after being postponed last year due to COVID-19. Students came from across NSW, with 63 students from 28 schools for the Dobell and 111 students from 70 schools for HSC. Pop-up exhibitions presented their work at the end of the week, and there were lots of enquiries from students about the BFA and how to apply. The 2022 HSC intensive will be held in July and September.
