Welcome to Performing Arts!

We are excited and enthusiastic about working with all of our students at NMPS and sharing our love and knowledge of the Performing Arts!

Every grade at NMPS has an hour-long Performing Arts session each week where students participate in a wide range of engaging, inclusive learning experiences combining elements of Drama, Music and Dance.

The Performing Arts enable students to develop their creative and expressive capacities, providing a safe, respectful, collaborative space that encourages individual expression and promotes student voice. Students are both artist and audience in Performing Arts sessions.

As well as exploring and practising skills across Drama, Music and Dance, students also learn about different practices, disciplines and traditions within the Performing Arts, from contemporary to traditional, and across different cultures, including the significant contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to Australia’s arts heritage and cultural identity.

Throughout the year, students explore core skills, key concepts and ideas. They develop these core skills and ideas through application, create and share work, and are given opportunities to present and perform in class.

Students are encouraged to see the relationship between effort and achievement as they complete activities and meet goals in their Performing Arts learning. Performing Arts outcomes are reported on at the end of each Semester.

Keep an eye on the school newsletter throughout the year to hear Performing Arts updates and see samples of the activities and work completed by our students.
