Students will also get to design their own shoe box theatre. The emphasis being on creativity and transferable skills. Music The focus for Music is on practical, group activities that encourage musical expression without necessary specialisation on an instrument.

Drama Drama focuses on musical theatre and puppetry. Students develop a range of dramatic skills including stagecraft, characterisation, use of voice, differing performance styles, responding to a performance and creating a performance. Students will be given an opportunity to develop and challenge their own level of confidence in a safe class environment. They will participate in a shadow puppet performance that will be performed to an audience of pre school children from the local day care centre. This gives them an authentic audience and an experience that they will remember in front of a non threatening audience. Music Scholarship Year Long Course This is a year-long course with admission by application. Activities include solo performances, creating original music and exploring music technology.
