performing arts
​

Students are encouraged to take part in co-curricular activities offered by the Arts Learning Area.
​These include but are not limited to:

Music

• Music lessons provide a music program that caters to the needs of each student, from beginner to advanced levels. Lessons can be weekly or fortnightly.  Link: Instrumental Program
• The Ensembles rehearse on a weekly basis before school and during some Breaks. The current list of Ensembles includes Choir and Concert Band, with plans to create additional ensembles in 2021.
• The Primary School Music Tour is held each year in Term 4. Our Ensemble students and a selection of our talented Music students across Years 7 to 11 tour our local Catholic Primary Schools to perform. The full day of performances is a fantastic opportunity for our talented students to perform and a wonderful introduction to our Music program for future Nagle students.

Drama Productions

• Our intimate Drama theatre provides a great classroom setting for our Drama classes, as well as staging our Lower School and Senior School Drama productions throughout the year. Allowing an audience of approximately 80 people, the theatre showcased two extra curricular Drama productions in 2020. The Senior School production of Cosi during Arts Week in Term 3, and the Lower School production of 67 Cinderellas in Term 4 were both fantastic productions by our talented Drama students and staff. 

​
Whole School Musical Production

• Biannually the College puts on a 'Whole School Musical'. These Musicals showcase the great talent we have here at the College. Students are cast in roles that require them to act, dance and sing and each show highlights the depth of talent amongst our Arts students. Our 2021 production of Alice in Wonderland performed at the Queens Park Theatre was a huge success, with rave reviews from every audience.​

Art Exhibitions 

• Exhibitions are an important way to showcase students finished works and promote the quality of artworks created through the College’s Arts Courses. As well as exhibiting student work in the College Library, Reception and Presentation Centre throughout the year, selected student work from our Art students have also been included in several Perth based Arts exhibitions including selection in the prestigious Year 12 Pulse Perspectives at the Art Gallery of WA. The annual Genesis Exhibition is a combined schools exhibition held at the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery showcasing talented Years 7 to 12 student works from across all Mid West High Schools in Term 4 each year.
