Performing Arts at Morning Star

 The Performing Arts department at Morning Star Christian School is a dynamic and integral part of our educational experience, encouraging essential disciplines that stimulate creativity, confidence, discipline and teamwork. These artistic avenues serve as powerful tools for self-expression and storytelling, shaping well-rounded individuals prepared for both academic and professional success.  

A Culture of Creativity and Performance  

Music and drama are deeply embedded in our school culture. Each year, our students take centre stage in a large-scale production at the Bulawayo Theatre, showcasing their talents and immersing themselves in the art of performance, stagecraft and storytelling. More than just entertainment, these productions reflect our commitment to artistic excellence, synergy and personal growth.  

Our students’ musical achievements are also celebrated at our year-end music concert, a momentous event that highlights their dedication, progress and love for music. Through individual and ensemble performances, they develop an appreciation for melody, rhythm and musical expression: skills that transcend the classroom and remain with them for life.  

Competing on a Larger Stage  

Beyond school events, students gain valuable exposure by participating in the National Institute of Allied Arts Eisteddfod festivals, where they compete, showcase their skills and learn from peers and professionals. These platforms challenge them to push creative boundaries, embrace constructive feedback and build resilience – qualities that prepare them for success in both artistic and professional spheres.  

The Arts Beyond School 

The influence of the Arts extends far beyond school. The skills cultivated: effective communication, adaptability, emotional intelligence and creative problem-solving – are highly valued in professional and corporate environments. Whether in public speaking, leadership roles, media, entertainment, law or business, the ability to present ideas with confidence, think innovatively and connect with diverse audiences is a distinct advantage.  

Engagement with the arts also cultivates a lifelong appreciation for culture and creativity, enriching personal lives and strengthening community bonds. For those pursuing careers in creative industries, Morning Star provides the discipline, passion and technical expertise needed to thrive.  

Strengthening Community and Identity  

The Performing Arts at Morning Star unite students, teachers and families in a shared appreciation and celebration of talent. These experiences create lasting memories, instil pride and reinforce the values of camaraderie, perseverance and artistic integrity.  We are shaping confident, expressive and well-rounded individuals who carry these skills and passions into adulthood, making meaningful contributions to society in every field they pursue.
