Our Performing Arts department includes Speech and Drama and Dance. At Nga Tawa girls are encouraged to take part in their chosen area of Performing Arts interest and further develop their skills and performing opportunities. We have a dedicated Speech and Drama itinerant teacher who works with girls towards their New Zealand Speech Board examinations. Students regularly obtain excellent results with a good number continuing on to Associated Trinity College of London diplomas in their final year. We have girls who regularly take dance lessons with local teachers and we facilitate on site lessons for additional dance styles such as hip hop.
The ultimate showcase of the Performing Arts at Nga Tawa are our regular soirees which give girls valuable performance opportunities and the local community a very enjoyable evening.
