The Arts

Ballarat High School is committed to providing a broad range of opportunities for students to pursue, and excel in, their areas of interest. Visual arts and performing arts are both sought out education areas with us and we provide the facilities, educators and pathways for students to follow their passions in these fields.
Performing arts

Our Performing Arts department enables students to apply their learning through performance both within the school, and outside in our community, at every opportunity. Our music and drama programs enjoy high enrolment due to the engagement of those taking part.

Instrumental music

Instrumental music is another opportunity for our students, with band instruments also available for hire. Students wishing to further develop and deepen their skills can join our Instrumental Music program, withdrawing from a timetabled class on a rotational basis once per week, to receive music tuition.

Musical opportunities include:

  • Ensembles
  • Year 8 Band
  • Music Performance Classes
  • Junior Stage
  • Concert Band
  • Senior Stage Band
  • Whizbang
Visual arts

Our Sedgwick Centre is a creative Arts and Technology hub which provides contemporary learning spaces for many students, including those drawn to visual arts. This space enables our budding artists to hone their skills in painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textiles, media and more.

Ballarat High School is accredited under the Department of Education and Training’s CRICOS registration (00861K). For further information refer to www.study.vic.gov.au
