Academies
Yeronga State High School is proud to offer a number of Academies for high achieving and goal driven students in the following fields: STEM, The Arts and Sports. Each program has been tailor-made to enhance student outcomes and address the needs of our students and community.
These programs place like minded students in a challenging and rigorous environment designed to nurture and celebrate their unique talents. Whether it is in the sporting arena, immersed in the culture of the arts or on a journey of deep thinking and problem solving in academic learning, our Academies respond to individual student talents, extending their capabilities and challenging them to be their best.
Our Academies enable students to develop their skills, attributes, talents, abilities and academic knowledge beyond the standard classroom setting. We have professional partnerships with tertiary and business organisations to ensure our programs have real world applications.
School Musical
Whether children have the opportunity to perform in theatre productions or help out behind the scenes, studying Drama and Performing Arts not only engages with the creative side of the brain, it also provides an ideal balance in students' patterns of study.
Budding actors, dancers, stagehands and makeup artists from all year levels meet after school each week in the auditorium preparing for one of the true highlights of the Yeronga school year ...our annual Musical performance!
Our students created and performed to a packed audience each time. They've starred in our Star Cross'd Smash based on Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, various musical, drama and circus performances at our Performing Arts Showcase and our ever popular Junior Performing Arts night that takes you on a journey around the school.
