General Excellence Scholarships (Dance / Theatre / Visual Arts)

Whether it’s Theatre, Visual Arts or Dance, being involved in The Arts at Caulfield Grammar School provides learners with a safe and supportive place for self-expression, discovery, creative collaboration and reflective connection.

Drawing on a rich variety of talent and resources, we offer a broad and inclusive curriculum of creative arts subjects and productions across our campuses.  In addition to our curriculum, we provide students with a wide range of co-curricular offerings including artist-in-residence programs that sit alongside and within Secondary year learning programs; opportunities for students to explore their passions backstage – creating costumes, props and sets for theatrical productions; Art and Design tours; and a student-led Visual Arts Committee that organises and runs activities to enhance our community.

General Excellence Scholarship recipients are required to be involved in and provide leadership in activities related to their discipline both curricular and co-curricular, as well as all-round participation in the life of Caulfield Grammar School.
