Performing Arts, led by Phillip Parslow, emphasizes performance skills through practical activities like physical theatre, improvisation, and scene creation, with a focus on collaborative and individual practice. Media Arts, under Dan Bradley, delves into video production, photography, and digital imaging, encouraging students to create and analyze media products while engaging in collaborative projects. Visual Art & Design, guided by Tenille Mannion, covers a broad range of techniques and theoretical knowledge, allowing students to create and critique two-dimensional and three-dimensional works. Lastly, Music, taught by Trudy Hart, introduces students to solo and ensemble performance, enhancing their musical literacy and practice skills, with recommendations for additional private or DE lessons. Each subject is assessed according to Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards, with some courses potentially requiring extra fees for materials or performances.
