Music 

Music is a rich and diverse component of the Loreto Toorak education. 
All students in Year 7 undertake Music as part of their core curriculum.

Music is a crucial school subject as it supports holistic educational development by enhancing students' cognitive, linguistic, and motor skills. Learning music strengthens neural connections, improving abilities in areas like mathematics, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning. It also promotes critical thinking and creativity, offering students a structured yet expressive medium for emotional and cultural exploration. Additionally, music education fosters collaboration, discipline, and communication, which are essential skills for academic success and personal growth

Drama & Theatre Studies

All students in Year 7 undertake Drama as part of their core curriculum. In Years 8-10, Drama is available as an elective, and continues as VCE Theatre Studies in Years 11-12.

Drama students collaborate with peers and professional practitioners to enhance their knowledge of a variety of theatrical forms. Through engagement in theatrical production processes, script interpretation and performance analysis, students develop their aesthetic sensitivity, interpretive skills, critical and creative thinking abilities, as well as their communication, design, technological and management knowledge.
