Creative and Performing Arts 

The Creative and Performing Arts amenities at St. Michael’s allow for creating work at an industry level. As our Creative and Performing Arts continues to expand at St. Michael’s, it is fundamental that our facilities and spaces match this progression. Our Dance Studio is on a raised stage, complete with sprung floors and mirrors to help with students improve performance quality. We have a large Drama space, which boasts its own lighting system and lighting and sound room to help development in the technical areas of production development. Nestled into this block is our newly renovated Music Room that has a cultured jazz club feel. With three soundproof spaces for rehearsal, all instruments can be managed and catered for to suit the individual needs of all of our learners. St Michael’s has two fully equipped Visual Art rooms, with many resources to aid all the different types of creative minds that Visual and Creative Arts foster.

The St Michael’s community is dedicated to accommodating our creative thinkers and performing artists with culturally rich and engaging spaces, to promote meaningful work.engaging spaces, to promote meaningful work.
