Our job is to make our students masterful storytellers in the specific on-camera acting genres of drama, single-camera comedy, multi-camera comedy, and commercials. We do this through a combination of audition-style prepared reads, partnered scene work, cold reading, and frozen reading. All class material is pulled from network TV or feature films and chosen specifically for each student for a completely personalized approach to their development.
In order to create consistently brilliant acting work, actors need a solid PROCESS for preparing the material, a PREGAME RITUAL for preparing their instrument for delivering the performance as intended, and a REHEARSAL NETWORK of at least six trusted colleagues, friends, and loved ones to rehearse with and put them on tape as part of their prep for every acting opportunity.
In addition to developing our students' process and pregame, we've also built the importance of community into our studio's culture. The last Saturday night of every month is Family Dinner Night, where all our private coaching clients and students come together in fellowship to build relationships that will make the difference in their personal and professional lives.
In November, the Chargers signed Jackson Piacsek (Pewaukee, WI/Waukesha North) and Aryan Sharma (Melbourne, Australia/Haileybury College) to join the program in the fall of 2024, adding two gifted amateur golfers to the fold in what looks like another strong recruiting class for Hillsdale.
Piacsek is one of the top prep golfers in the state of Wisconsin, leading Waukesha North to a third-place finish in the WIAA Division I state championships as a junior last spring while finishing tied for third as an individual in the competition. It was the second year in a row that Piacsek earned All-State honors in Wisconsin, along with a WIAA regional title in 2023 and back-to-back Classic 8 first-team All-Conference honors. Piacsek holds an impressive +0.8 handicap and has a low round of 67 in competition, while also standing out the AJGA and Junior PGA circuits -- finishing tied for eighth in the 2023 AJGA Future Legends championship and tied for fourth in the 2023 Wisconsin Junior PGA Championship, among other honors.
A two-sport athlete who also plays varsity basketball at Waukesha North, Piacsek is an impressive student, earning membership in his school's National Honor Society and Business Honor Society while also earning AP Scholar with Distinction honors.
Sharma is an international product from the other side of the world, Australia, who's racked up an impressive amateur resume in his home country, including five top 10 finishes in junior tournaments in the Australian states of Victoria and Tasmania alone in 2023, including a victory in the Associated Grammar Schools of Victoria Independent event. The Melbourne native boasts a +2.2 handicap and an impressive low round of 65, and also serves as the captain of the Haileybury College golf team, helping Haileybury finish runner-up as a team with a score of 219 in the 2023 AGSV State Championship in May, while earning runner-up honors as an individual with a 68. That was the second straight year that Sharma had earned runner-up honors in the AGSV final for Haileybury, and the third-straight top five individual finish in the event for the golfer, who also played in 2021 and 2022.
Both players will look to add to the Chargers' lineup in the fall of 2024. Hillsdale finishes out the 2023-24 season with play this spring, starting with the Saint Leo Invitational on Feb. 19 and 20 in Dade City, Florida.
On September 8, 2020, eight young people filed a putative class action in Australia's Federal Court to block a coal project. The lawsuit sought an injunction to stop the Australian Government from approving an extension of the Whitehaven Vickery coal mine. The plaintiffs claimed to represent all people under 18, and argued that Federal Minister Sussan Ley has a common law duty of care for young people. They further asserted that digging up and burning coal will exacerbate climate change and harm young people in the future. Plaintiffs sought an injunction to prevent the Minister from approving the project under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC).
On May 27, 2021, the Federal Court of Australia established a new duty of care to avoid causing personal harm to children but declined to issue an injunction to force the Minister to block the coal mine extension. The Court concluded that "the applicants have established that the Minister has a duty to take reasonable care to avoid causing personal injury to the Children when deciding, under s 130 and s 133 of the EPBC Act, to approve or not approve the Extension Project." In establishing the duty of care, the Court found that the foreseeable harm from the project, if the risks were to come true, would be "catastrophic", and therefore children should be considered persons who would be so directly affected that the Minister ought to consider their interests when making the approval decision. In declining to issue an injunction, the Court found that the plaintiffs had not established that it is probable that the Minister would breach the duty of care in making the approval decision, and had not established that they will have no further opportunity to apply for an injunction. In its May 27, 2021 judgment, the Court delayed issuing a declaration about the duty of care owed by the minister, and raised a number of questions to the parties about the scope of the duty.
Accordingly, the parties asked the court to make orders that the proceeding not continue as a representative proceeding. The relevant orders were made by the court on 14 April 2022 and reasons published on 22 April 2022.

The catastrophic climate impacts from mining and burning coal have not changed. The evidence accepted by the court concluded that every coal mine matters. The emissions from one coal mine can trigger tipping points causing extensive harm to people and the environment.
Former State and Territory fire chiefs and senior emergency services personnel, Ewan Waller, Steven Warrington (AFSM), Major General (Retd) Peter Dunn (AO) and Gregory Mullins (AO, AOFSM) kindly put on evidence for the students.
Jack McLean co-ordinated the matter at Equity Generation Lawyers with critical support from James Higgins and Varsha Yajman. Ling McGregor and Clare Schuster provided crucial contributions throughout the proceedings. Guidance was provided by David Barnden.
In September 2020, eight young people from around Australia, represented by Equity Generation Lawyers, and with the assistance of 86 year-old litigation guardian Sister Brigid Arthur, brought a class action against the Federal Minister for the Environment alleging that the Minister has a duty to avoid causing future harm related to the carbon emissions that would result from the approval of a proposed coal mine extension project in the state of New South Wales known as the Vickery Extension Project. If approved, the coal burned from the Vickery Extension Project will result in 100 million tonnes of carbon emissions over the next 25 years, further fuelling the climate crisis. Our clients argued that approving the mine would breach the alleged duty.
