Welcome to Catherine McAuley's ~ Arts
The Arts
Catherine McAuley’s Expressive Arts program is designed to allow students to increase their understanding and accomplishment in music, drama and dance.
Students begin to appreciate the meanings and values that each of the art forms offer personally, culturally and as forms of communication.
Through drama, music and dance we aim to:
• Build confidence
• Develop speaking and listening skills
• Encourage positive group interaction
• Increase a child’s self-awareness as part of their social circle
• Develop communication skills
• Encourage positive social interaction
• Increase physical control
• Enhance listening skills and how to respond appropriately.
• Develop skills to be more confident and assertive when faced with situations to do with peer pressure and social inclusion
• Encourage independent work
• Assist negotiation skills.
• Facilitate creative expression
