8 Performing Art
Weekly outline
-
Kia ora everybody and welcome to Year 8 Performing Arts!
Mr Bartlett & Miss McGregor are sharing this course and you will get to spend time with both of us learning Music, Drama and Dance.
In Year 8 Performing Arts you will build on and continue to develop the skills that you learnt in Year 7. You will dance, act and play instruments as you work towards creating performances within the three Performing Art disciplines.
If you enjoy this taster course, you can go on to choose one of the performing arts as an option subject in Year 9, which you will do for an entire year.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email one of your teachers!
