Performing Arts is about expressing humanity in its most direct form. It achieves this through artistic performances which stimulate emotions and make us reflect on what it means to be human in a wide range of contexts.

Rangitoto Performing Arts

OUR VISION

To challenge and inspire all students to fulfil their potential in any Performing Arts discipline or genre.

To interweave curriculum and co-curriculum into an effective Performing Arts platform on which relevant, real-life learning occurs.

To foster the highest standard of collegiality and collaboration amongst students and staff, so that Performing Arts becomes an equal and integral part of school culture.

Staff are passionate about providing diverse opportunities for students to participate and perform, and our co-curricular programmes aim to cater for a wide range of ages and abilities.

Co-Curricular Activity

The diploma points system is designed to recognise every student’s contribution to life at Rangitoto College.  To ensure equity, and reward students effectively, co-curricular points are now standardised across Sports, Performing Arts, Culture, Clubs, and Service. Students earn points for participation and contribution,  accumulating toward three key milestones of their White, Red and Blue Diplomas:

⚪ White Award: 25 Points

🔴 Red Award: 50 Points

🔵 Blue Award: 75 Points

Progress will be updated termly upon the completion of service, sports season, performing arts, culture and club events and activities.

There are many pathways in which a student can achieve points, and our system balances two key ways of being involved:

  • The All Rounder: If you love trying everything from Robotics and Amnesty International to Social Badminton, you will earn points across different categories that lead to your Diploma.
  • The Specialist: If you are highly dedicated to a specific field such as a Premier sports team or a lead role in the school musical, the system recognises the significant hours and leadership you provide.

Our Senior Drama Company presents a production of Lord of the Flies. Paradise Lost: When Boys Become Beasts A deserted island. A plane crash. And a chilling lesson in human nature that has haunted readers for generations. Forget the pristine beaches and the call of the wild for a group of British schoolboys stranded after a wartime evacuation. Their tropical paradise quickly devolves into a terrifying arena for survival, not against nature, but against each other. Initially, a fragile society emerges. The athletic Ralph takes the lead, guided by the intellectual Piggy and the symbolic power of a conch shell meant to maintain order. Their priority: a signal fire, a beacon of hope for rescue. But hope is a fleeting luxury when confronted by the primal instincts lurking just beneath the surface. Enter Jack; magnetic, dangerous, and obsessed with the thrill of the hunt. He quickly sways the younger boys with promises of freedom from rules and the intoxicating allure of violence. As a mythical "beast" fuels their deepest fears, the thin veneer of civilization cracks, then shatters. What unfolds is a brutal, unstoppable descent into savagery. The conch, the very symbol of their lost world, is destroyed. Innocence is murdered. And the island, once a sanctuary, becomes a fiery hunting ground where former schoolmates become predator and prey. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies is more than a story; it's a chilling mirror reflecting the darkness that lies within us all. Are we truly civilized, or just a few steps away from the jungle? The cast is made up of an all male cast and an all female cast of seniors with the exception of Anthony Chen who is in Year 10. Rehearsals are well under way and we are excited to bring this production to the stage. Shows dates: Week 9, Term 1 - Thursday 26th March at 7pm, Friday 27th March at 7pm, Saturday 28th March, Matinee at 2pm and closing show at 7pm. Ticket information will be available soon.
