Our Performing Arts program comprises of four main components: Music, Drama, Dance and Media Arts. Through making and responding, students learn in 4 interrelated strands: Exploring, Developing Practices, Creating and Presenting.
Drama
In Drama, students create, perform and respond to drama as artists and audiences. They learn to use, manage and manipulate the elements and conventions of drama across a range of dramatic forms and styles. As artists, students create drama works that communicate story, action and meaning. As audiences, students develop an appreciation of the art form and consider how the works of others may influence their own practice.
Media Arts
In Media Arts, students use images, sound, text, interactive elements and technologies to explore, produce and interpret stories about people, ideas and the world around them. They explore the diverse cultural, social and organisational influences on media practices, and they draw on this understanding when producing and responding to media arts works.
Music
In Music, students listen to, compose and perform music from a diverse range of styles, cultures, traditions and contexts. They create, organise, manipulate and share sounds in time and space. Students critically analyse their own music making and music works of others, developing an appreciation for the art form. Music practices are aurally based and focus on developing and applying knowledge and skills through sustained musical engagement and experiences.
