Woonona High School is a vibrant and innovative, proudly comprehensive high school that values strong community partnerships. Student success is driven by excellence in teaching and learning delivered by world class educators in a safe and supportive learning environment. Our students are confident, creative individuals who enrich our local and global community.
The introduction of a highly successful Enrichment Class for our most able students in Year 7 has led to the implementation of enrichment classes in all core classes Years 8 - 10. Students, teachers and parents involved have commended the initiative and feel that it has made a difference to the learning of the students. In 2016, our school decided to introduce another enrichment initiative to run parallel to the existing enrichment class in Year 7 - the CAPA Enrichment Class.
The CAPA Enrichment Class is designed for students with an interest and talent in the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA). The goal being to provide students with a holistic CAPA experience that fosters their abilities, creativity and collaboration within and across each discipline of the arts. Whilst this program provides students with all the core subjects needed to fulfil the requirements of Year 7 at high school, they benefit from additional teaching time in the Creative and Performing Arts encompassing the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts syllabus content.
All students at Woonona High School are offered a large range of CAPA extra and co-curricular opportunities and from Year 8-12, students can choose to study a wide variety of CAPA electives including HSC Dance, Drama, Music and Art. As part of the learning philosophy around this program, it is expected that all students who accept a CAPA place will also participate in the extra and co-curricular activities offered by the school:
- Circus Training
- Dance Company
- Drama Club
- Junior and Stage Bands
- School Production
- Visual Arts Extension
- Vocal Ensemble
