Welcome to a visionary year of creativity! 

We are thrilled to be leading the way in the secondary arts scene, bridging our two campuses to create an environment where student voices truly thrive. Our mission this year is to open fresh, exciting pathways for everyone to explore their potential, ensuring our school remains a vibrant, forward-thinking hub for artistic discovery.

There is already a fantastic buzz in the air as we gear up for our performing arts season. Whether you’re auditioning for our production of Into the Woods Jr., joining the soaring voices of Harmony Haemata, or training with our Dance Academy, there is a place for you to shine. We encourage every learner to dive in, get involved, and discover the thrill of being part of these high-energy ensembles.

Our visual arts programmes are equally bold, blending timeless traditions with digital innovation through exciting community partnerships. We are finding new ways to take learner work beyond the classroom, creating real-world connections that inspire and challenge our young artists. Let’s make 2026 a year where we push boundaries, collaborate, and bring our most inspired ideas to life!
