The atmosphere was enthusiastic and fun before, during and after the&nbsp;performances. It is always an inspiration for my performances. <\/em><br><strong>Harper Harris-Roxas<\/strong><br>Year 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students attended the Drama OnSTAGE Exhibition at the Seymour Centre on 11 February, to view outstanding HSC Projects.
