VILE School Pride
In an effort to give our Villain School a real sense of identity, we have had our Graphic Designer Darrell Chiu design a striking school logo as well as emblems for each of the four school orders (Marvels, Enchantment, Anarchy and Mayhem). We are excited to reveal the official VILE School Logo which features the school motto 'Nota Res Mala, Optima' (An Evil Thing Known Is Best). This logo will feature as part of the set, costumes and backdrops!

Potions and Cauldrons- Week 4 Gets Spooky
We are now four weeks into our rehearsals for the 2018 College Production of VILLAIN SCHOOL and we have had a lot of fun over the past week as our settings start to take shape. The scenes for the show take place either in the V.I.L.E Cafeteria, Campus Grounds, Genius Bedrooms or Headmistresses Office. We have brewed potions and even got our hands on a human-sized cauldron!
Our Senior Student crew have been hard at work sourcing costume ideas and our student assistant director Laila Davies took charge in rehearsal this week, blocking several key scenes involving the Geniuses, Witches and Professors.
Our Dance chorus have also been leaping, rolling and jumping with Villain-like attitude as they begin to bring to life their three lively dance numbers!
Things are busy in the world of Villain School and we look forward to reaching the end of our planning for Act 1 next week!

Wicked Dance Chorus
We are very excited to add a talented group of girls to the 2018 Production Cast as a dance chorus who will help us enhance this enchanting, wicked production. Congratulations to Letisha O'Neill, Amelie Ladyman, Paris Rozario, Mia Butterworth, Amy Van Der Wiede, Jasmin Baker, Cortney Sleath and Chloe Andrews. We can't wait to see what these girls will bring to the Production this year!
2018 Villain School Poster Reveal
We are pleased to reveal the official poster for the 2018 College Production of VILLAIN SCHOOL by Brian D Taylor. The striking design displays V.I.L.E, the Villain's Institute for Learning Evil and the school of wicked ways along with the ever quirky witches conjuring their famous brew. It also hints at teenage angst and first love which features in the colourful and wickedly fun story. The poster has been designed by Year 12 student Darrell Chiu, who will be completing other graphic content for the show including a school logo which will be coming soon. The QR codes on the poster will link directly to the school website as well as the ticket purchase link (which will go on sale mid next term). Be sure to keep an eye on the Life @ HCC and Production Blogs to follow all things VILLAIN SCHOOL!

Chillin Like Villain's
As we reach the end of our third week of rehearsals, we have already made significant progress, blocking up until the end of Act 1, Scene 6 and giving all of our groups (Monsters, Convicts, Geniuses, Witches, Misfits and Adults) their chances to shine! Our set and props are already taking shape (potentially the earliest we have ever had props and set pieces on hand) and we have some very exciting and innovative ideas for staging and setting Villain School this year!
It has been fantastic to see our Year 6-12 Cast and Crew merging together with old friendships being established and new ones being formed. Our older students are proving to be fantastic mentors, running warm ups and team building activities for our new and younger students. Keep an eye out in the coming weeks for the release of our striking poster and Villain School logo (being designed by Darrell Chiu) and our first teaser trailer (being put together by James Evans and Miss Vaini).

Villain School Is In Session
Rehearsals are underway for the 2018 College Drama Production of VILLAIN SCHOOL. We are very lucky to have such a talented young cast for what is set to be a wild and colourful production. Students are getting to grips with their characters and beginning to understand their quirks and personality traits.
Our youngest cast member is in Year 6 and our oldest Year 12 so there is a fantastic sense of community amongst our cast and crew. Rehearsals so far have been full of fun, laughter and plenty of shenanigans and we are looking forward to what the remainder of the term will bring!
