Since 1984, the State, Regional and five Wildcard finalists who were in the running for National TV Winners were judged by the three major categories of Design, Performance, and Drama/Production - but there is a difference between the live events and the TV special. The judges adjudicating the performances judged them from a TV perspective. The fifth of the three schools that were worthy TV champions had themes ranging from a moving story of dislocation and the power of remembrance in the face of change in the middle of the Russian Revolution (2001 = Terrigal High School, Matryoshka - NSW); a faithful retelling of the classic, critically acclaimed novel by Harper Lee and Oscar-winning film (2002 = Randwick Boys and Girls High School, to Kill a Mockingbird – NSW); and a relevant social and political issue (2003 = St. Columba's College, Melbourne; Cabaret Australia - VIC).
