"Offering students the chance to discover, perform, and reach their potential."
Creative Arts is a vibrant component of the co-curricular life at Redeemer, where holistic learning is embraced. Students are offered a range of opportunities to explore and experiment in a safe and supportive environment, while developing their individual creative talents and building social capital, confidence and efficacy.
The program aims to enhance the academic curriculum, providing a range of non-auditioned performance troupes as well as auditioned opportunities for those students with well-developed performance skills looking to engage in focussed productions and competitions beyond the classroom.
Performance Ensembles are open to students in years 6 - 12, and cater for a range of interests, including Musical Theatre, Performance Dance (Contemporary, Lyrical, Jazz) and K-Pop Dance. Musical Theatre troupes at the college cater for the many students who enjoy performing in this genre and include: Junior Girls, Senior Girls, Boys and Beyond Broadway (an auditioned troupe).
