Performing Arts

It has been a very busy start to the school year in the Visual and Performing Arts faculty. We have celebrated the exemplary work of the class of 2025 through the Emergent: Graduate Exhibitions, celebrating 6 students demonstrating their wonderful talents from Art Creative Practice, Media Studies and VET: Music (Performance), showcased the incredible talents of our performing arts students at Show Up, and we have also enjoyed seeing students engage in our subjects through many excursions throughout the term. 

We have had many successes so far and have enjoyed a settled start to the new year, including the expansion of our Music Institute Cranbourne program, now expanded across Year 8 and 9. The addition of VET: Visual Arts has also kicked off to a strong start, joining VET: Music (Performance) and VET: Music (Sound Production) as viable career pathways for students to study the arts. 

We look forward to continuing this strong momentum into Term 2 and look forward to many more celebrations to come in the Visual and Performing Arts at Cranbourne Secondary College

Emergent 2025 Graduate Exhibitions

This year, 6 Cranbourne Secondary College students represented our school across a record number of subjects, Art Creative Practice, Media Studies, and VET Music Industry (Performance). What an achievement! 

And in the most exciting news... 

 Congratulations to Zohal Joya. Our former Year 12 student walked away with the Monash University Art Award, which comes with a fully funded mentorship with the university. We are SO proud of you! 

A massive shoutout also to our Year 12 Visual Art Captain, Danielle, who dedicated three months of her time to co-curate this exhibition alongside industry professionals. Your passion and commitment are truly inspiring! 

Emergent is all about celebrating the next generation of creative talent, and our students are proof that the future of the arts is incredibly bright.

Show Up 2026 

Show Up 2026 came to the stage on Tuesday, 31 March, created by students, performed by students and hosted by students, and this year we saw the clocks wound back to the 70s. 

We saw funky disco, classic grooves and great vibes as we rocked the night away. Congratulations to all the students involved, including our 3 acts that came away with the awards on the night. I would like to thank everybody who was involved in creating another special night for the Cranbourne Secondary College community, from the student hosts and performers to the backstage crew, including sound and lighting, and all other volunteers who played a part. These events don’t happen without the dedication and community spirit that is consistently displayed at our college. 

A huge congratulations again, and we look forward to seeing you all back rocking the stage again soon.
