Performing Arts
At Broadford Primary School foundation to Year 6 students participate in weekly Performing Arts classes that develop their skills in music, dance and drama. Students are able to grow their appreciation of the performing arts through regular performance opportunities for their peers and the school community. Grade 5/6 students may have the opportunity to attend professional performances to further develop this.
School Production
We present a Grade 5/6 production every year where our talented students are able to showcase their abilities in dance, music and drama. This performance is held at the Broadford Shire Hall.
Local Vocals
Our wonderful school choir, the Local Vocals, come together every year to learn Christmas carols and perform for the lovely residents at BlueCross Willowmeade. They also perform at our annual school Christmas Carols.
Visual Arts
The Visual Arts are a valued learning area at Broadford Primary School, with students from Foundation to Year 6 taking part in specialist run visual arts lessons each week. These lessons expose students to a variety of visual arts styles, media and skills.
Art provides children with the opportunity to explore different art mediums and apply them to various art processes, expressing their ideas, experiences, and imagination visually. Children are encouraged to use divergent thinking, as they develop multiple ideas for their final artwork, art projects are often inspired by the work of a famous artist or an art movement. Through participation in Art students gain problem solving skills, insight into other cultures and social awareness. Students attend a one-hour Art session each week.
