In addition to the Performing Arts curriculum, there are extensive opportunities for students to be involved in the cocurricular program, which include productions in conjunction with St Bede’s College.

As part of the Music Program, Music students are invited to participate in an intensive two-day Music Camp, which culminates in a Soirée. The College Soirées are celebrations of Dance and Music and take place multiple times a year including a festive Christmas Soirée.
