The School’s first choir was formed in 1973 and the first performance by staff and students was Oliver! in 1978. The School places great emphasis on all forms of creative and performing arts, understanding that this can develop student’s self-expression and enhance learning across academic subjects.
We are proud to showcase our students’ talents with numerous musical ensembles that perform at School and in the wider community, as well as through annual productions and performances. We have a strong tradition of our students going on to be part of blockbuster movies, working behind the scenes on reality televisions shows and being offered highly sought-after places at WAPPA.
