Performing Arts Program
The Performing Arts, including Music, Dance and Drama, are extremely valuable to children's education, as they build confidence, foster creative thinking and develop team-work and social skills. At Beaudesert State School, every class participates in a 30 minute lesson each week, with our Arts specialist teacher with delivery and alignment of the Australian Curriculum.
During this time, students have the opportunity to listen to, watch and respond to music, dance and drama, sing and play instruments, learn to read and write rhythms and melodies, learn and create dances, devise their own drama performances and perform scripted drama.
The program encourages individuals and groups to improvise and create their own performances as well as perform set pieces for various audiences.
