Performing Arts allows students to develop their creative skills and express ideas through a variety of performing arts mediums.
Drama
Drama is about imagining, creating and performing ideas through dramatic expression.
Dance
Dance focuses on the development of technical and physical skills, personal movement vocabulary, and application of choreographic and analytical principles.
Media
Media will suit anyone who ‘consumes’ films, ads, magazines, music, social media and other internet-based texts. Students both study and make media in your preferred format.
Music Performance
Music Performance is open to anyone who has completed three years or more tuition on any musical instrument.
Music Style and Composition

Music Investigation
