Performing Arts
Add to FavouritesAcademic achievement is only one aspect of fulfilling the educational needs of our students. We place importance on student involvement in a broad range of activities and entice our students to participate in a wide range of interests.
At Ravenswood, your daughter can experience an extensive and dynamic Performing Arts curricular and co-curricular program across Music, Drama, Dance and Speech, that encompasses students from all Year Groups.
