Performing Arts

Geelong High School has an enviable reputation in the Performing Arts. Over the past couple of decades GHS has produced 100s of graduates who have succeeded to professional work as dancers, singers, actors, musicians, theatre technicians, teachers, writers, choreographers and directors.

Theatre studies and Drama occur at Shenton, a unique Performing Arts facility where our collection of heritage listed buildings, creates an inspiring atmosphere for creativity. No visit to Geelong High School would be complete without a tour of the Theatre with its state-of-the-art professional lighting system housed within a 1930s Baroque style church.

Dance

Dancers from all over Geelong flock to the brand new purpose built Dance Studio which accommodates V.E.T. dancers from all Geelong schools, providing them direct entry into the creative arts industry. Dance remains one of the most popular choices for students throughout their years at GHS.

Drama

Geelong High’s Drama department is alive and well, offering students of all year levels the chance to develop their skills as actors and theatre makers. Working with existing texts, and creating their own, Geelong High’s Drama students are encouraged to think about the world and how people behave in order to inform their performances.
