Being an extension student means getting the opportunity to breakthroughs each week. The problem with weekly break throughs is they can often be hard to see. To show off the growth of our students we get them up in front of an audience and presenting their new levels of talent! As daunting as this might sound, it quickly becomes our extension students’ favourite part of the program as they learn that taking pride in their work is a wonderful thing. The best part is the success they feel at the showings is addictive and we have seen most of our extensions students funnel this into school and personal life.  

Each extension class performs at multiple times throughout the year. Parents and friends are treated to an intimate evening of showings at the end of Term 2 for all extension classes, comprised of varying content for each class. Our main attraction is our end of year showcase, where all of our classes gather during the one week to perform work that shows the culmination of a year’s worth of commitment, teamwork, skill building and growth. Our showcases never fail to blow our audience’s minds, as we gather to celebrate creativity.

As students’ progress throughout the extension stream, they will discover that no two showcase performances are the same. From monologues to full plays, devised work to musical theatre, comedy to drama; we make sure all our students are given a chance to show their greatest strengths while continuing to challenge themselves.

Industry professionals have commented that they can not believe the level of ability demonstrated by our students in end of year showcase. Most shake their head in disbelief that the outcome is tighter and slicker than some outcomes created by students who are attending full-time. One thing is for sure, If you’re looking for strong, performance based outcomes, extension is the place for you!
