The Performing Arts program at Mentone Girls' Grammar has given me a platform to explore my creativity and discover my identity.

With the guidance and support of my teachers and peers, I’ve found a space to express myself authentically and grow in confidence. The opportunities provided by the School have not only nurtured my passion but have also solidified the importance of encouraging others to pursue what they love.

Performing Arts in the Junior School

Our Junior School Performing Arts program sparks creativity and confidence in every student. Through music, dance and drama, students are encouraged to discover their talents and celebrate self-expression in an encouraging and collaborative environment. Students in our Junior School have the opportunity to participate in regular performances and in the annual Junior School Production.

Annual Production

Mentone Girls' Grammar's annual production is a captivating highlight on the School’s calendar. Students from Year 7 to Year 12 are invited to audition for cast roles, join the band, assist backstage, or take on supporting production responsibilities such as direction, choreography, sound, lighting, make-up, and costume.

By engaging in production, students can foster and bolster their creative, collaborative, and communication skills.

House Dance Competition

All students from Year 7 to Year 12 participate in our annual House Dance competition. Students are divided into our four House colours - Grammar House (Red), St. Margaret's House (Gold), McCowan House (Green) and Kent House (Blue).

This fun-filled event, showcases the students' choreographic skills and earns points for their respective House. It promotes healthy competition but also fosters leadership, teamwork, and resilience.

Theatre Studies plays

The elective Theatre Studies curriculum pathway caters for those students who prefer to explore the world of straight plays. The Theatre Studies curriculum pathway allows students to dive deeper into the world of theatre making and explore theatres many facets.
