Performing Arts 

Performing Arts Term 2 - Music

Every class at Mackellar PS 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 and Music. 

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.
