We are delighted to announce the winners of the Borlase Oscars ‘Boscars’ for 2022/2023. Recipients of the awards have demonstrated commitment, achievement and excellence in that discipline. In recognition of the commitment and achievement of many of our students across the year, we also curate a list of ‘nominees’ for each award. It is always a challenge to select both winners and nominees as we are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm and skill of the student body. We hope that these awards inspire and empower the students to excel in the arts and, in doing so, continue to develop the skills and knowledge that will help to shape their future.

The full list of winners and nominees are as follows:
