Welcome parents and students to the Excellence in The Arts Program at Cooloola Christian College. Studies show that participation in the Arts benefits our students in so many ways, as it nurtures the whole child, and provides opportunities for students to shine. Student academic achievement, increased attendance and engagement rates, as well as student wellbeing and positive behaviour outcomes, are known to be significant benefits.
Research also shows that learning and playing an instrument improves “not just academic performance, but also memory, reasoning, working as part of a group, time management and the ability to think in the abstract” (F. Sandor. Music Education in Hungary).
At CCC, we offer quality instrumental music tuition and dance lessons (SHINE Dance) during the school day, which complements our rich Music and Arts curriculum, P-12.
