Performing Arts
At Essendon Primary School, Performing Arts is thoughtfully integrated with our Visual Arts and Inquiry programs, providing students with rich and connected learning experiences.
Our program aims to:
- Expose students to a range of performance techniques and genres
- Develop students knowledge and confidence in performance skills
- Provide every student with a positive and inclusive experience in drama
Students in Grades 5/6 participate in a major school theatre production, which integrates literacy learning with performing arts skills. This highly anticipated event takes place in Term 3 each year and is inspired by well known literature and musicals. In 2026, our students are excited to present Charlottes Web.
In addition, Essendon Primary School offers private instrumental music tuition for students whose families choose to access this opportunity. Lessons are delivered on-site by our external provider, Creative Music in Schools.
