Who is the Full Time or Part time Performing Arts Program for?
The SEPAC Performing Arts Program is designed for passionate young performers who want to develop their skills in a professional and supportive environment.
​
Students can join through our Full-Time Program (Years 9–12), where academic studies are completed in-house through Cairns School of Distance Education alongside intensive performing arts training, or through our Part-Time Program for homeschool students wanting structured performing arts training alongside their studies.
​
Both pathways are ideal for students who are committed, creative, and eager to grow in a high-energy, supportive environment.
Part-Time Performing Arts Program
The SEPAC Part-Time Performing Arts Program is designed for students who complete their academic studies offsite through homeschooling or distance education, and want access to professional performing arts training during the week.
​
Students attend SEPAC on selected days to participate in structured classes such as musical theatre, vocals, drama, dance and performance training, while remaining enrolled in and completing their academic studies through their chosen education provider.
​
The program provides a creative, social and skill-building environment, allowing students to develop confidence, performance ability and teamwork while training alongside other passionate young performers.
​
Attendance is flexible, allowing families to choose classes or days that best fit their schooling schedule.
