ViVA! – Stage 6 Classes
Since its inception in 2017, the Sydney Catholic Schools ViVA! Performing Arts Program has grown exponentially. It is currently offered across multiple schools: Southern Cross Catholic College Burwood, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Kensington and St Patrick’s College Sutherland. Since 2026, additional hubs include Marist Catholic College, Penshurst and Clancy Catholic College, West Hoxton.
ViVA! provides all secondary school students with a part-time option of attending hub schools in order to study HSC Dance, Drama, Music 1, Music 2 and Music Extension, whilst maintaining their enrolment at their current school.
ViVA! is delivered in weekly block face-to-face classes, with online learning modules, in a blended delivery model that allows students to explore their passion and extend their skills, with like-minded students and expert teachers.
Sydney Catholic Schools is excited to announce that ViVA! offers Dance XLR8 – an accelerated pathway for exceptional Year 10 students to complete the HSC a year early. They complete the program across Years 10 – 11, following a comprehensive selection process.
