Arts and Cultural activities

The Arts and Cultural area of Riccarton High School continues to experience significant growth.

Music thrives in a supportive and collaborative environment with opportunities provided at both the individual and group level by our highly experienced teaching staff and tutors.

Drama is both a curriculum subject and an opportunity to get involved in a range of extra-curricular activities, such as Theatresports, Shakespeare festivals and major school productions.

Dance is also offered as a subject at all year levels and students are given opportunities to perform at a number of school events.

A large number of performance groups, including Pasifika, Kapa Haka, Filipino and Chinese, perform at both school and community events.
