At Queenscliff Primary School, we believe in nurturing the creative potential of every child through our vibrant Performing Arts Program. Aligned with the Victorian Curriculum structures, our program offers a dynamic blend of music, drama, and dance, providing students with valuable opportunities for self-expression, collaboration, and personal growth.
Engaging Curriculum
Our Performing Arts curriculum is thoughtfully designed to align with the Victorian Curriculum, ensuring that students develop essential skills and knowledge across various domains. Through engaging activities and projects, students explore different forms of artistic expression, from mastering musical instruments to exploring dramatic storytelling techniques.
Creative Expression
We celebrate the unique talents and creativity of each student, fostering a supportive environment where they can freely express themselves through music, drama, and dance. Our dedicated teachers encourage students to explore their imagination, develop their confidence, and embrace their individuality through creative performances and presentations.
