CAPA Program
The Creative and Performing Arts Program at Narara Valley High School is a vibrant part of our school, offering experiences within and beyond the classroom. In each area of CAPA we aim to give students opportunities to develop their creative talents through Dance, Visual Arts, Music and Drama.
Historically students from the CAPA classes have gone on to perform in prestigious events such as Encore, Reprise, Central Vision, Call Back, YIPA, Showcase, CC Dance Festival, Talent Development Program, State Vocal camp, Operation Art, Art Express to name a few. Other students have recording contracts and many have achieved band 6 and 5 results in their HSC CAPA subjects. We are very proud of what many of these students have been able to achieve in their selected areas.
The program provides students with the opportunity to acquire life long skills, knowledge, understanding that are necessary for active engagement and enjoyment in the Creative and Performing Arts areas of their choice, while continuing to engage in all other areas of their school education.
The areas are Visual Arts, Dance, Drama and Music students can select vocals, instrumental, guitar, piano, and sound production.
The CAPA class students of Year 7 and 8 will do two one hour tutorials in their two chosen areas that are determined from the audition process. The CAPA class are given opportunities throughout the year to perform at regional and local community and performing Arts events as well as invited to participate in exhibitions and competitions.
NB: There is a cost associated with CAPA of $500 per year. This is to pay our tutors, cover the cost of excursions and resources for our students. Payment plans can be negotiated with administration staff.
