Structure

Students are accepted for Years 7 to 11, and undertake studies across the curriculum to meet all NSW Board of Studies School Certificate and Higher School of Certificate requirements. English is offered for both first and second language speakers and French is taught at all age levels.

Students complete their academic studies prior to the lunch break on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday. The afternoons are dedicated to skills training in timetabled classes where students are divided into specialize groups according to their chosen major creative arts study area: dance, music, acting or art.

Study Life
On Thursdays and Fridays the academic day is slightly longer and the performing arts classes are performance focused. Students combine according to the project they are rehearsing for performance. Dancers work with musicians, singers with instrumentalists, actors with choreographers. The emphasis on these afternoons is on original work, cross art collaboration and ensemble work practices. Students can choose to develop individual repertoire for solo performance as part of their studies but must maintain a significant presence in collaborative projects.

Extra curricular activities centre on the creative arts, with outside performances, productions, competitions, ensemble work, excursions and publication of student works regular occurrences.
