We are lucky to have the expertise of Ms Marshall in the Mairehau Fine Art department. She is generous with her time and talents and encourages students to push themselves over and above what is required in the classroom.
Students take part in gallery trips, create wearable art masterpieces, as well as backdrops and costumes for shows.
Mairehau has a strong Performing Arts department. Each year the school alternates between a theatrical performance held in the school hall or participating in ShowQuest.
Students who are engaged in the Performing Arts are invited on trips to see dance and theatre shows to strengthen their knowledge and appreciation in the topic.
Opportunities to audition for parts are advertised in the notices.
