The Performing Arts Academy fosters the talent and skill of our junior students who are passionate about their learning in Dance, Drama, and Music. Throughout the year, students undertake five lessons per fortnight (at 7:45am) to develop technical and performance skills in their chosen art form. Look out for their performances this year!
