Performing Arts School
Crucial to the success of our Dance and Choral programmes is the annual Performing Arts School held in the June/July holidays. This school is non residential and held at a venue in close proximity to the local rehearsal venue.

Performing Arts School is a fantastic way to provide our students with access to all the ingredients for a successful and rewarding performance experience. During the school, all students will deepen their understanding of their art form, heighten their technical skills and experience the satisfaction gained from mastering the hurdles and obstacles we all encounter in the pursuit of new knowledge.

The curriculum continues the focus on vocal development for choristers and the refinement of technique for dancers, but students are also able to give greater consideration to other elements associated with the performing arts. Singing, drama and dance are all important in the daily activities organised for both choristers and dancers.

The relaxed atmosphere at Performing Arts School allows students and teachers to enjoy each other socially. We look forward to the opportunity to spend more time with our students, allowing new insights into the young personalities that we are helping to shape.

National Performing Arts School
National Performing Arts School is held in the September/October holidays each year.
Senior choristers and dancers (Chamber Choir and Ensemble )may audition for place – This intensive holiday workshop takes place in a different state each year.

The pace is fast, the expectations high and the week exhilarating!

Excellence within the performing arts requires similar focus to the pursuit of excellence within any other endeavour - excellence is achieved through commitment. Students who are prepared to strive to enhance their skills, who wish to fine tune their artistic focus in a methodical and deliberate way, who embrace new challenges and artistic demands, will find their aspirations satisfied during National Performing Arts School.

This is a great week away together! It confirms our commitment to the development of those members of our Senior Ensembles in each state who wish to accept a greater challenge. Students are admitted to this intensive training programme by audition only. They are offered the opportunity to work with a variety of conductors and choreographers, who are leaders in their field, to develop their skills and focus on additional repertoire with others who are equally determined to be as good as they can be!
