St John’s Grammar provides opportunities for students to take part in a variety of different ensembles including specific vocal, string, recorder, flute and mixed instrumental ensembles, which are conducted and managed by specialist teachers.
The Secondary School Choir is open to all students from Year 7 to Year 12. The Senior Vocal Choir is appointed by audition and is the School’s premier award winning choir, enjoying performing for many public events.
Drama
St John's produces an annual play or musical open to all students in Years
7 - 12. As a Drama-led collaboration between several departments within
the School, it provides many students an opportunity to participate behind
the scenes of a production whether or not they have on-stage aspirations.
Technology, Art and Music Department students and staff are involved with
set design and building, costume and program design, front of house and
publicity. There is an audition process for actors and backstage hands.
These are always very exciting projects as students develop confidence
and skills in all aspects of theatre. They learn about the self-discipline,
teamwork, commitment and the thrill involved in performing to the public.
St John's productions are performed in a professional theatre off campus,
and are received positively by both the School community and media.
