We are committed to each individual student's safety, personal and educational development.

ART
Introduces students to why and how art is made in societies and cultures, including Maori and Pacific Island art. Students make artworks in response to a study of the environment. They use a variety of art materials, techniques and procedures, which also involves looking at what they see and drawing it.

DANCE
This is a half year course covering three major areas of study: fitness, curriculum work and practical dance. Fitness consists of students learning to train their bodies to work for them within the dance curriculum and are encouraged to set goals for themselves. Students will develop their knowledge of the language and history of dance. They will learn and perform teacher choreographed hip-hop routines and will also get the opportunity to choreograph their own performances at the end of the course. Assessments will be both written and practical.

DRAMA
Drama is a half-year option for confident students who enjoy performing for others. Students learn how to use voice, body language, space and theatre conventions dramatically, and how to interpret the drama they see. Each unit of work uses and builds upon previous learning so that skills are continually practised and developed.

MUSIC
An active half year course that introduces basic performing skills in keyboard and guitar. Students explore and experiment with creating and organising sounds and are also introduced to a wide range of musical styles. Elementary rudiments of theory are presented which enables students to fully take advantage of this course.
