Students will have the opportunity to be involved in Dance, Drama and Music Showcases. They will also have the opportunity to get involved backstage and learn fundamental skills such as sound, lighting, costumes, scenography (stage design/props), directing, stage managing etc. Students will have the opportunity to work with scripts and develop their own works.
We will showcase student work in our gallery space within our performing arts foyer and in gallery spaces in our wider community. These opportunities help our students develop good relationships with local community and industry professionals.
In addition to visual and performing arts, students also have access to an incredible music program and after -school club who perform at college events.
Our focus on arts and technology will overlap. Technology will be used to create art and creativity will be a big part of our technology focus. Here you can start to see the cross-curricular approach really coming to life.
