The college has an extremely strong performing arts program which includes Music, Drama, Theatre Studies and Dance. The showcase of the performing arts program is the college’s annual Variety Night which is held at the Mildura Arts Centre each year in August. The show has a theme each year which students prepare items for, both in class and in lunchtime programs. With a cast and crew of over 100 the show has become a highlight of the college calendar. Students attend a rehearsal camp where they learn whole cast items and fine tune others as well as spending a full week in the theatre.
Theatre week involves exposing students to the world of “theatre”. They learn about the workings of backstage, lighting, props, costumes, “theatre etiquette” and of the joy of live performance.
