Performing Arts
Developing skills far beyond the classroom
The performing arts lessons at St James provide students with the opportunity to engage the mind, the body and emotions into a collaborative expression of all that it means to be human.
Performing Arts
The Arts are a fundamental means of expression and communication in all societies.
Learning in the Performing Arts involves students creating and responding to music, dance and drama independently and collaboratively with their peers.
The performing arts lessons at St James provide students with the opportunity to engage the mind, the body and emotions into a collaborative expression of all that it means to be human. They discover their own voice, grow in confidence and develop a range of valuable interpersonal skills.
Students explore and develop an understanding of the elements of music, music conventions and music styles. In dance and drama, they are provided with opportunities to be imaginative and expressive and learn in a collaborative environment, reflecting on and responding to their own and others’ works.
It’s not the curriculum that we offer that sets us apart...
....it’s the manner in which it’s delivered. Our teachers actively and passionately explore the possibilities of making their teaching practice more innovative, engaging and fun at every turn. This is the single ingredient that drives the most growth in our students.
