At King's we are proud to have a thriving dance and drama departments delivering strong curricular and co-curricular options.
We have performance events and workshops throughout the year, with highlights including the annual Dance Showcase . This event allows our dance students to showcase their talents and is a real high point for so many of our pupils.
The many opportunities for King's students to perform include:
The Junior production is cast with students in Years 9, 10 and 11, who gain roles by auditioning. The show takes place at the end of Term Three and allows young acting talent to emerge. Auditions are held at the end of Term Two. Rehearsals are held Mondays and Fridays after school as well as Sundays for the duration of Term Three.
Each year at the end of Term Two, King’s puts on a quality drama production with actors from Years 11, 12 and 13. Roles are gained through audition and a limited number of places are available.
