Events and Performances
In addition to weekly term time classes and examinations, we strive to organise and offer the students as many performance opportunities as possible. Every year, we hold our school show; one year our Award Presentation and the next our 'Big Show' at The Hazlitt Theatre as well as yearly Christmas Shows and various festivals and fetes throughout each year. We also work with Independent Production Companies on a number of exciting and versatile projects. Dependent upon the event and it's specific requirements, this could include rehearsal time outside of classes, varied choreography and music themes, working in different teams and age groups all to create something spectacular! It's a great opportunity to introduce students to new and exciting ventures and make life-long memories!
