Music & Performing Arts

At Harvest, students have the opportunity to engage in musical activities such as performing, composing, arranging, researching, developing and applying music technologies. Participation in the study of music draws together students’ cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills, strengthening their ability to manage work and learning, and to communicate effectively and sensitively.

Music & Performing Arts

At Harvest, we offer vibrant, engaging lessons in Art, Music, Drama and Dance.

Students are hands-on in music-making, singing, developing musical literacy, playing in class ensembles and deepening all learning by the rich literacy and maths content.

Drama is taught to develop empathy, confidence, essential life skills, teamwork, trust and joy with a robust literature and literacy focus.
Primary students can join musical groups such as a choir or percussion ensemble. These groups perform at various events throughout the year, such as assemblies, chapels, presentation nights, Kernewek Lowender and other celebrations.

Secondary students continue with class music lessons in Year 7 and then have the option of choosing this subject in higher year levels.

A secondary vocal ensemble is available for those students who enjoy singing and performing, and they sing at various events.

Lunchtime music groups, including guitar and ukulele groups, are open for any interested students. A student band also rehearses at lunchtime.

Private instrumental lessons are available in our music studios. We currently provide piano, violin, viola, and cello lessons as options for private lessons.
