About the Connections Showcase
This annual showcase is an opportunity to celebrate the creativity of our NSW public school students with disability. Showcase submissions are accepted from students in Kindergarten to Year 12 who are interested in creative practices such as music, dance, visual arts, public speaking, film and drama. The creative and performing arts projects can be completed by schools, classes or individual students. Submissions are then compiled into a digital showcase celebrating the creativity of our NSW public school students with disability.
Be inspired by previous Connections Showcases.
