Dance
In 2009 students have been grouped in six different dance groups after a fairly long audition process. These include three Companies-Open, Intermediate and Junior and three Junior Ensembles-a Combined Year 7/8 and two Year 7 Ensemble directed by Year 10 and 11 students.
All three junior ensemble students have the opportunity to perform at the Sutherland Dance festival and all three companies were selected to perform at the Sydney Regional Dance Festival in June. We anticipate that PHHS may also be represented in the State Dance Festival. For the past 15 years, PHHS has also been a part of the Schools' Spectacular. All dance groups have other opportunities to perform throughout the year including performing arts nights, year Assemblies, Portfest, Port XL, State Dance Student Choreography Showcase.
Our aim at PHHS is to give as many students as possible performance experience and to foster responsibility and creativity among our senior students by allowing them to take small Ensemble groups.
