The Performing
Arts Faculty offers the subjects of Dance, Drama, Media and Music. Drama and
Music are offered from Years Seven to Twelve and Media and Music are offered
from Years Nine to Twelve. The emphasis is very much on creating and making
one’s own pieces and exploring and responding to the works of others.
Students are given many opportunities to present and perform their work in front
of an audience through ensemble evenings, showcases, concerts and presentation
evenings. They are provided with excellent facilities and spaces to create and
present their pieces.
In addition, members of the Performing Arts Faculty contribute much to the
co-curricular activities offered by the College. These include, Music
Tuition; a wide range is offered, from piano to voice to saxophone and being a
member of the many bands and ensembles, College Production; in recent years this
has taken the form of a musical, in 2008 the College is presenting Grease, and
MADD Night, a celebration of Music, Art, Dance and Drama. Students also have the
opportunity to take part in Festivals and competitions such as the Melbourne
Bands Festival. |
