The Arts

Thornbury High School is the only government school in Victoria to offer all Year 7 and 8 students instrumental music lessons as part of our Performing Arts program.  At no extra cost to families, students learn the saxophone, flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, guitar or percussion. March each year sees students performing in front of an audience at the ‘Strawbale Picnic’, followed by the May and October concert extravaganzas.  As students proficiency develops, they become part of an ensemble with weekly rehearsals and regular gigs, often collaborating with students from our local primary schools

 

Musicals are a big part of life at Thornbury with 'The Lion King' and 'Matilda' recent productions.  Our feature film ‘Rebound’ received rave reviews. Students engage in production, direction, set design and construction, backstage, chorus and lead roles.
