Adjusting to the pandemic

THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

The College quickly adapted to the restrictions of the pandemic. College staff dedicated themselves to providing a safe learning environment for students. The College community went above and beyond to limit the spread of COVID-19, with measures including but not limited to meeting airflow requirements, accessible sanitising stations, increased sanitisation of highly used areas (doors, railings etc.), mask requirements and distribution of COVID-19 RA testing to staff and students.

During this period, the College developed an outdoor space for students to continue to exercise their creative skills. The outdoor stage was created for the new ‘summer series’ at the College, allowing students to still perform to an audience in a COVID safe environment. This is one of the many proactive solutions implemented by the College to continue daily operational tasks.

“I would like to thank the Drama team at John Curtin College of Arts for the excellent effort performed by the teachers and students on the outdoor venue. The outdoor event was extremely well organised and conducted to a level second to none. The performance, given only a short time frame to compile, was extremely surprising and entertaining. As a parent, I was proud to see the passion both students and teachers have towards such an event, which resonated with us as proud parents. Well done all involved.”
