PRIVATE LESSONS

Private lessons are usually one-on-one tuition and can be booked for students in any subject. These can be ongoing, weekly lessons to prepare students for performances, eisteddfods or exams. Private lessons can also be arranged periodically and are a great way to help students catch up or excel further in certain areas as the teacher can focus purely on the needs of the individual.

APAC COMPANY

APAC Company auditions are held every year in Term 1 for students between 6 and 18 years. The Company members are selected on their ability to dance, sing and act, and must show the desire to work hard and as a team player. The APAC Company represents the College in many performances and eisteddfods throughout the local community.

WORKSHOPS

APAC Workshops provide the perfect environment to take performances to the next level. Workshops are generally held in the first week of the Term 1 & 2 school holidays and focus on exam preparation, APAC Company routines or eisteddfod performances.
