MAJOR EVENTS
The Academy of the Arts is committed to sourcing a variety of performance opportunities for our young musicians and performers. This provides real-life experience in concerts, eisteddfods, festivals, musicals and corporate environments while showcasing the level of student talent.
MUSICAL
Citipointe musicals are a highlight on the school calendar. They are held every two years and are supported by the Academy of the Arts and our curriculum arts team. Student participation in all aspects is encouraged and supported, on-stage and off-stage.
In 2021, over 150 students were involved in singing, dancing, acting, painting, building and rehearsing for twelve months to present Matilda:The Musical. They were assisted by 30 staff and various professionals in a variety of consulting roles. Over 2000 audience members were thrilled over five shows at the calibre of artists at Citipointe.
The Musical in 2023 is The Little Mermaid. Get ready for a fantastic adventure Under the Sea featuring our incredibly talented team. See our students thrive as they use their God-given gifts for His glory.
The Little Mermaid is set to be another sensational Citipointe musical!
