An Arts School
We encourage all our students to be well-rounded and to participate in a range of cultural activities. Opportunities are provided in art, music, public speaking, debating, drama and dance and are all strongly supported by the students. All students are expected to participate in at least one cultural activity each year.
Instrumental and vocal tuition is provided and we have an excellent College orchestra, jazz band and rock bands.
We combine with our sister school, Villa Maria College, each year for a musical production and compete annually in the regional Catholic Secondary Schools' Public Speaking Competition, the Bishop Lyons Shield, and The Press Debating Competition.
We have been regional Theatresports' champions and a number of our students have continued beyond school with the Court Theatre Jesters. Cultural successes include the annual combined production with Villa Maria College, "The Sound of Music", and our junior production "Treasure Island", both of which exhibited acting, production and technical excellence and attracted significant audiences.
Theatresports has a key group of very talented actors who have moved beyond school into Court Theatre Jester and theatresports work. We fielded both a junior and senior team in the local competitions.
Students have been successful and active in the music arena with two active rock bands, Primeval (performing original work) and Voltage Revival. The senior rock band, Cruise Control, was selected in the national secondary schools' song writing competition for release on the Top 42 CD and also competed in Rockquest .
The opening of our new music suite and recording studio has injected added enthusiasm and capability into our music groups and music department.
