Students are able to take itinerant lessons for Speech and Drama and Music. This is additional to the co-curricular obligations students have, as outlined in this handbook.
Speech and DramaThere are two speech and drama tutors working in the college, Helen Balch and Dianne Jones. They teach a range of skills including speech, drama, public speaking, musical theatre and performance skills. Students can have individual lessons or come in pairs or trios depending on requirements. Lessons are organised at a time to suit the student and class teachers. Students can sit Speech New Zealand or Trinity Guildhall exams and a number also enter the Christchurch Speech and Drama competitions. Students also come just for confidence and enjoyment. Enrolment forms are emailed to all families in January and are also available from Reception.
Instrumental and Vocal TuitionThe Music Department runs an extensive programme of instrumental and vocal tuition. Twenty-two tutors come into the College each week, some of them across two or three different days. For private lessons in the music suite studios, tutors charge approxiamately $30 per half hour lesson. About 30 – 33 lessons are taken over the year during school time, mostly in the morning and early afternoon, although most of the drum lessons and some guitar lessons are taken after school. Lessons are usually rotated to ensure students do not miss out on the same subject area each week.
Reports are issued twice a year, at mid-term and end-of-year. Theory lessons are also available. The College has a supply of instruments for hire at $45 per term (saxophones, horns, oboes and bassoons are $50 per term.) For further details on this scheme and for information about the variety of performing groups available contact Mr Ferguson, request a copy of the department information booklet and fill in the application form on the back page.

Students are able to take itinerant lessons for Speech and Drama and Music. This is additional to the co-curricular obligations students have, as outlined in this handbook.
Speech and DramaThere are two speech and drama tutors working in the college, Helen Balch and Dianne Jones. They teach a range of skills including speech, drama, public speaking, musical theatre and performance skills. Students can have individual lessons or come in pairs or trios depending on requirements. Lessons are organised at a time to suit the student and class teachers. Students can sit Speech New Zealand or Trinity Guildhall exams and a number also enter the Christchurch Speech and Drama competitions. Students also come just for confidence and enjoyment. Enrolment forms are emailed to all families in January and are also available from Reception.
Instrumental and Vocal TuitionThe Music Department runs an extensive programme of instrumental and vocal tuition. Twenty-two tutors come into the College each week, some of them across two or three different days. For private lessons in the music suite studios, tutors charge approxiamately $30 per half hour lesson. About 30 – 33 lessons are taken over the year during school time, mostly in the morning and early afternoon, although most of the drum lessons and some guitar lessons are taken after school. Lessons are usually rotated to ensure students do not miss out on the same subject area each week.
Reports are issued twice a year, at mid-term and end-of-year. Theory lessons are also available. The College has a supply of instruments for hire at $45 per term (saxophones, horns, oboes and bassoons are $50 per term.) For further details on this scheme and for information about the variety of performing groups available contact Mr Ferguson, request a copy of the department information booklet and fill in the application form on the back page.
