Classes start promptly at 6.00pm and end at 8.00pm. A register will be taken and late or non-attendance will be swiftly followed up.Drama, Dance and Music will be two year courses starting in September 2008, with exams taken in Summer 2010.

Students opting for Music should have a proven track record of instrumental and / or vocal ability. They should also have taken part in the Music department extra curricular programme and have attended regular instrumental or vocal lessons.Although school uniform need not be worn, students are asked to dress appropriately for the subject.
