School Musicals
“My favourite memory about our school musicals is the atmosphere backstage and the connections formed between students from different Year levels.” Lydia, Year 12

Hillbrook stages a musical every two years. Over 100 students take part from a variety of year levels. Performed to sell out audiences, Hillbrook’s musicals have gained the respect and recognition from dramatists as being professional and memorable productions. Enjoy the memories from some students and a photo journey from the last 3 musicals.
