Music

Music is part of the Creative Arts Faculty and our united vision is to ‘celebrate the creativity and imagination of our students and to encourage personal development within a challenging yet inspiring environment.’ 

At Southlands High School the Creative Arts faculty comprises of Music, Art, Photography and Music. Our united vision is to celebrate the creativity and imagination of our students, as well as encouraging personal development within a challenging yet inspiring environment.  This statement is at the forefront of everything we do to ensure our students have as many high-quality Arts opportunities as possible.

The Music curriculum at Southlands is an inclusive curriculum where all students are challenged, supported and taught to the top.  Adaptive teaching is inherent in lessons to ensure all students feel supported through their musical journey both in and out of the classroom. Through the implementation of the curriculum, it is our intention to provide students with experiences of a range of music from different historical periods, composers, places and cultures and develop a passion for music that goes beyond the school day. We aim to instil a love of musicianship by promoting a highly practical experience offering students the chance to play and perform in a different range of solo and ensemble contexts. Our curriculum provides students the opportunity to become confident musicians who have the opportunity to showcase their talents as songwriters, performers, lyricists or composers. Overall, we aim to prepare students for life outside of school and beyond education, equipping them with the qualities necessary for them to reach their full potential, regardless of their starting point.
