Extra- Curricular Cultural Activities
Dance Squad
Dakabin Dance Squad run lunchtime and after school rehearsals to prepare students for a number of Dance Showcases and Competitions throughout the year. Students also perform at school events including Celebration Parades, Arts Showcase and Awards Night.
Dance Squad students develop team and performance skills while building strong relationships across Year 7 -12 students.
Instrumental Music Program
Dakabin's Instrumental Music Program encompasses orchestral strings, woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. Students participate in a weekly group lesson during school time with a qualified Instrumental Music teacher and students are encouraged to join the Stage and Concert Bands.
Students will enhance their performance skills through playing at school events, competitions such as the Peninsula Music Festival and the opportunity to register for the State Honours Ensemble Program run by Griffith University Queensland Conservatorium.
School Musicals and Wakakirri
School musical productions take place on a biannual basis and on alternate years students can participate in the Wakakirri Story-Dance Festival, Australia's largest performing arts event for schools.
Students audition for acting, dancing and singing roles, as well as instrumental music parts where relevant. Stage and tech crew positions are also available for students who prefer to stay out of the spotlight.
Lunchtime Activities
Throughout the school year students can attend cultural activities such as Anime Club and Theatre Sports during second break.
