The wealth of talent in the arts at Dunstan High School is on tonight, with Showcase 2021. 

Dunstan High School’s Connor McDowall says the school often receives high accolades but it was time the arts received specific recognition.

"We have such a talent here in sport, it's time to Showcase the Arts of Dunstan High," he says. 

“Over 100 students will be performing. So many talented pupils who have the ability to make a career from these fundamental teachings.

“The arts at Dunstan is about 'giving it a go',” Connor says. “Practice if you enjoy it and you will get better.  

“Our confidence grows when we commit to performing. This quality takes us so many places in life. 

“Confidence is a critical element to success.

“We want our talented students to be proud of what they achieve and showcase is our way to delight the rest of Central Otago with this one off performance.”
