Creative & Performing Arts is mandatory for students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
In Creative & Performing Arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts where they learn to appreciate, compose, listen, make and perform.
Each art form has its own unique knowledge and skills, elements or concepts as well as a capacity to inspire and enrich lives.
Music has a strong focus here at Chillingham. Mr Simpson, a music specialist, (you're likely to catch his band around the area - they're great), leads our K-6 program.
He has also created a Small Schools Band, which tours the local small schools towards the end of each year. This provides our students with a valuable opportunity, to perform to the an audience beyond their own peers, families and friends.
2025 focus
All Creative and Performing Arts are included in the class program every year, providing each student the opportunity to develop a broad range of basic skills in each area, while exploring these Arts. Some students discover they have a 'flare' that was previously undeveloped!
Each year we have a focus area to explore in more depth, this year it's Drama. Now some might say that there's always plenty of that floating around their households, which may be true! However, in our program we will hone those natural talents to bring the characters in scripts to life.
