Students have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, take part in an Instrumental Ensemble or join a drama class.
All members of the Performing Arts staff are professional musicians or artists and are therefore aware of the demands and expectations required for musical or drama performance. Students are given the opportunity to sit AMEB or ANZCA exams, as well as perform during the year at various school functions and events.
A Music Scholarship is also offered to a student from Year 8–Year 12. Students can audition for this scholarship during Term 4. A music scholarship enables a student to receive their instrumental music tuition free.
Students receive one lesson per week in their individual or group lesson. Fifteen lessons are provided each semester to students on a fee-paying basis. Each lesson is for 30 minutes and lessons are held during class time. Applications to learn a musical instrument or join a drama class can occur at any time during the year, however, applications are generally received at the beginning of each semester.
