Performing Arts

Creativity knows no bounds in our Performing Arts program, with students engaging in a hands on lesson involving music, dance and drama each week. Whether they’re belting out tunes, mastering choreography, or bringing characters to life on stage, every child is encouraged to shine brightly in a supportive and inclusive environment.

From exploring the many instruments in our collection to performing on the big stage as part of our biennial whole school production, our program fosters a love for the arts while nurturing each child’s unique talents.

The performing arts are not just about entertainment but also essential for building confidence, teamwork, and communication skills. Through collaborative projects and hands-on experiences, students learn the value of cooperation, resilience, and dedication, preparing them for success both on and off the stage.
