L3 Performing Arts Technology

NCEA Level 3 Performing Arts Technology (3PAT)

Students who are interested in what goes on behind the scenes of a production, public performances, and other organised events should take this class.  It is a great opportunity to get involved in the school production,  music concerts, and other performances and events across  the year.  

The course is suited for those students interested in a career or further study in the performing arts and events sector but don’t necessarily want to perform.

Through a pedagogy of Guidance + Action + Experimentation, students who learn in the Arts Faculty will:

• Have opportunities to engage and experiment with a wide range of artistic expressions and genres in a safe supportive environment.  
• Develop a love of the arts as a form of self expression and a leisure activity that supports wellbeing.  \
• Develop the skills and attitudes needed to gain access to further education and/or employment in the creative industries.
• Understand the role of the arts in the world as a tool for making diverse people/cultures visible and as a tool for social justice.

Students will complete a combination of 18-24 credits as listed below.
