CREATIVE LEARNERS ARE CONFIDENT LEARNERS AND THE PERFORMING ARTSOFFER A UNIQUE AND DYNAMIC PLATFORM FOR CREATIVITY AND SELF EXPRESSION. THE ARTS ARE AT THE HEART OF INSPIRED LEARNING FOR EVERYONE.

Our new Performing Arts Centre is the most significant building project in the history of our school and will be the largest theatre on the Central Coast. Part of our school’s 25 year plan, this innovative and cutting edge development will raise the performing arts facilities to the same level of excellence enjoyed across other faculties.

Bill Low, Headmaster

Children from Kindergarten to Year 12 will benefit from the enriched teaching and learning environment this centre will provide. Each child gains such a positive impact from the performing arts. All forms of academic achievement are enhanced by fostering creative thinking and collaborative learning.

Worthy of your children’s creative talents, we will have an extraordinary space for the many and diverse interests found in all aspects of the performing arts. From production to performing, set design, sound and lighting engineering, choreography, film and recording, children will be given a lifelong legacy of confidence and culture. Our professional facility will allow us to build bridges to the broader arts community and host large cultural events.
