The Performing Arts

The Performing Arts Program follows the VELS Curriculum Guide which has the Performing Arts delivered in an integrated way for the first few years. Later on, the sections of the Arts are teased apart and taught separately. The VELS emphasises “creating and making”. Over the course of a year, students learn skills in music, dance and drama. They use these skills to develop their own compositions, choreograph there own movement sequences, and create their own dramatic pieces.

The VELS also emphasises “exploring and responding” to the arts which includes reflections about their own and others works and studies of art works from other cultures or periods of history.

Some units of work compliment the classroom studies. In these cases the performing arts enriches the children’s learning as well as the students bringing their classroom experiences and learning to the performing arts.

The cornerstones of the program are creativity, reflective thinking, risk taking, building interpersonal skills and confidence……….. These are the skills of life.
