What is Night of Notables?

The Night of Notables project gives students an opportunity to select an eminent figure and become an expert on them!

The project is largely self-directed and involves accumulating, analysing and synthesising material in order to create and present their notable authentically to an audience. It challenges students to develop a deep knowledge and understanding of their notable and in turn, share this with an audience concisely and with creativity.

The program culminates with a single evening presentation called 'Night of Notables.'

Here are some goals of the project:

• Students become an expert on a person and time period in history.
• Students present their notable in front of an audience with clarity and confidence.
• Students create a booth and costume that aids the audience in understanding the time and place from which their person came.

The Night of Notables is a popular project around Australia, and the world! You can view the project at other schools:

• Box Hill High School, Victoria
• St Marys College, Toowoomba, Queensland
• Yarrawarrah Public School, Sydney
• West Pennant Hills Public School, Sydney
