Welcome back to the Performing Arts for 2023!

Dale Ezzy - Music Coordinator, Classroom Music & Instrumental Music

Damika Doorley - Dance and Drama

Tim Barclay - Creative Generation Coordinator

New staff to join our team this year include:

I have the pleasure of leading this team in the Head of Department of Performing Arts role. My main teaching area is Dance but I have a passion for all of the performing arts subjects and I am particularly passionate about productions that span across the 3 subjects areas.

Here in the Performing Arts we offer Dance, Drama, Music and Instrumental Music as a part of our curriculum. I am very excited to announce that this year we are launching our Dance Excellence Academy. This curriculum class will be made up on year 7 and 8 students who have been through a rigorous trial and audition process to be a part of this group. The Dance Excellence Academy has been designed to challenge students with a learning experience in dance that focuses on technique and performance.

Of course this year we will also be offering a variety of Extra-curricular opportunities for your children. These include:

DANCE

Junior Dance Squad

Senior Dance Squad

Cheer

Creative Generation

DRAMA

Drama Troupe

MUSIC

Vocal Ensemble

Stage Band

Concert Band

Drumline

Percussion Ensemble

If your child is interested in getting involved in one of our extra-curricular programs then please ensure they listen out to student notices in week one to find out how they can join one of these groups. Some of our representative teams use an audition based process to select students while other groups are an open invitation.

We look forward to working with you and your child this year as we continue to deliver programs of excellence in the Performing Arts.
