The performance is early in Term Three. Additional rehearsals are required closer to production. A weekend Musical Camp is held during Term Two.
The Junior School production (for Years 6 and 7) rehearses on a Tuesday from 3.30pm to 5.30pm with the performance at the end of Term One.
DRAMA
The Drama Department offers many opportunities for students to participate in extra-curricular activities. These include the House Plays Festival held in Term One, the Secondary Schools Drama Festival held in Term Three for Year 8 (Junior), Year 9 and 10 (Intermediate) and Year 11 and 12 (Senior). (Student auditions for Directors are held at the beginning of the year.)
Other opportunities to perform vary from year to year. Rehearsal time for these activities does require commitment and involves some after school hours.
