Performing Arts
In Performing Arts, students work in a highly collaborative environment to explore an extensive range of performance skills. The Dance and Drama programme caters for over 400 WAS students. In Year 1- 6 this is this full-year course, Year 7 - 9 a term. For our seniors Year 10 onwards, Performing Arts is a subject option. The focus nurtures and develops skills such as group/ensemble participation and contribution, self-management and relating to others. The Music programme is compulsory for Year 7 - 9 students and continues to offer learning opportunities to all NCEA levels. In addition WAS proudly offers many extra curriculum opportunities to show case our talent. Ranging from Kapa Haka to Jump Jam to Rock Quest there is always something exciting happening in the Performance Space.
