Introduction
The Kircher Collection: HSC Major Works from 2021 highlights the extraordinarily creative and critical thinking of our senior students. The namesake of the annual publication, Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680), was a polymath widely known as “the Master of One Hundred Arts” whose work bridged the sciences and the humanities. In this vein, The Kircher Collection is an annual compendium of the finest work of our graduating class across a range of disciplines. This year, subjects include Art, Music, Drama, Literature, TAS and, for the first time, Science.
Congratulations to this year’s students whose works were selected for this remarkable publication. We invite you to view their works below.
