Performing Arts

The Performing Arts Specialist program at St Michael’s School incorporates the areas of Drama, Dance and Music. All these areas enable students to develop their creative and expressive capabilities as they learn about different practices, disciplines and traditions. Students are encouraged to make and present various performances, using dramatic skills, a variety of dance forms and music throughout their learning in this curriculum area.

Performing Arts lessons are held once weekly by a specialist teacher in this field from Year Prep through to Year 6. Every second year a whole school production is rehearsed and students present the many skills they have acquired in the form of a musical / role play. This is performed for families and the local community, giving students the opportunity to put the skills into practice on a large scale. In 2023, we presented the musical, An Aussie Adventure, at Crossway Baptist Auditorium in Burwood East. 

Hands-On Instrumental Program

The Hands-On one-on-one music program operates at St Michael’s School for parents who wish for their child to take individual instrumental lessons. Hands-On provides specialist music teachers who come to the school throughout the day and a variety of musical instruments are on offer.
