The extra-curricular programs at Concordia cater for students from Year 7 – 12 across a variety of facets of Arts Education. Our programs enable students to experience the Arts in ways that promote confidence, innovation, creativity, collaboration, empathy, appreciation, problem-solving and self-expression

DANCE

The College has two dance teams open to students in Yrs. 7–12. The teams perform at a variety of events and competitions both locally and in Brisbane. The program gives students the opportunity to gain skills across a variety of dance genres and to develop excellence in performance in an environment that enables them to work with other students across different year levels.

Each team trains once a week before school.

DRAMA

The College offers two levels of Drama Club, catering to the students’ interests and skill levels.

Students are accepted into the Extension Drama Club through an application process. Once enrolled, they all work as an ensemble on projects specific to their interest areas and collaborate on performances for competition. As well as high-level performance, students can explore their interests in scriptwriting, design and directing as part of the process.

The Open Drama Club is an exciting opportunity for any student from Yrs. 7-12 to engage in fun drama activities such as theatre games, improvisation, and small projects for College events This club is aimed at being a social connection for people who enjoy drama at any level and provides the opportunity to develop a rapport with the Arts Captains.

Students are welcome to be involved in both clubs, as they run in separate sessions.

VISUAL ART

Visual Art operates lunchtime Art workshops and all students from Yrs. 7-12 are welcome to come along. This is an opportunity for students to work on various projects of their own interest, and also to enter competitions of a regional, state and national level. Workshops vary each term according to student’s interests and passions but are a great opportunity for students enjoy their art in a more social context.

MUSICALS
