land Acknowledgment
Hillfield Strathallan College is situated upon the traditional territories of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Mississaugas. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee, Anishinabek and other Indigenous nations to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. As members of the learning community at HSC, we are committed to honouring this covenant by working alongside our Indigenous neighbours and building a sustainable relationship with the land that we all cherish.

A special thanks to HSC Food Services, parent volunteers, faculty volunteers, administration, the Communications Team, maintenance staff, student volunteers, HSC families and student participants who all worked together to make this production possible.
A Message from the director of arts
We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to each of you as we present another stage production at Hillfield Strathallan College. Your enthusiastic support of our talented students has been instrumental in fostering a thriving and dynamic artistic atmosphere at the College.
This year has showcased immense talent and creativity, with our students taking center stage in a myriad of captivating performances. The arts flourish at HSC, and we are proud to have presented a lineup that reflects the passion and dedication of our budding artists.
Our Senior Musical, Little Shop of Horrors, was an unforgettable spectacle featuring the incredible talents of our Senior students, who poured their hearts and souls into bringing this classic production to life. Likewise, our Middle School Musical, Into The Woods JR., was a testament to the remarkable abilities of our younger performers, showcasing their boundless energy and creativity.
For those who appreciate the wit and humour of the stage, our Senior Spring Play, Laughing Stock by Charles Morey, promises an evening of laughter and entertainment. The clever writing and stellar performances by our students are sure to leave you in stitches.
The arts at HSC extend far beyond the dramatic arts. Our Junior and Montessori School concerts throughout the year are a riot of colour and joy, showcasing the creativity of our youngest performers. Additionally, the incredible talents of our student musicians are on full display as they take the stage in concerts featuring our various music ensembles throughout the year.
As the curtain closes on another year of creativity and collaboration, I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy the show. Your presence in the audience is a testament to the community spirit that makes the arts at HSC so unique. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey, and we look forward to sharing many memorable moments with you throughout the year.
