In Semester 1 students take part in music lessons. Students from Transition to Year 6 are given the opportunity to engage in a range of tunned and untuned instruments including xylophones, djembes, recorders and handheld percussion.

In Semester 2 students from Transition to Year 6 take part in Performing Arts lessons. In Term 3 there is a focus on Dance and Term 4 Drama. Students learn a choreographed dance in preparation for our School Concert which is a highlight of the year for many students and teachers. Students will be exposed to a range of dance styles and elements and have the opportunity to help choreograph moves for their class dance.

In Drama students will be exposed to improvisation and role play. They will have the opportunity to engage in self-expression and dramatic play.
