Lake Tuggeranong College

Lake Tuggeranong College serves Year 11 and Year 12 students in the Australian Capital Territory and features a Performing Arts program, which includes Drama and Theatre disciplines offered as part of its broader curriculum in the Arts learning area. Theatre is integrated into the college’s senior vocational offerings, allowing students to explore performance through applied coursework and school-based productions.

Students engaging in drama at LTC have opportunities to participate in live on‑campus shows such as student-written plays and ensemble theatre events, including notable performances like The Rule of Zip, which has been staged to public audiences at the college’s theatre facilities. These experiences foster skills in acting, ensemble work, and production in a supportive school environment.

While the program does not follow a formal Associate or diploma-level vocational track, drama is offered within the senior curriculum—often in collaboration with the Tuggeranong Arts Centre and local initiatives like Rebus Theatre, which has delivered forum theatre workshops at LTC. This provides students with exposure to theatre-making beyond classroom walls and engagement with community creative networks.

Lake Tuggeranong College encourages creative expression and leadership through student-driven showcases and open mic events, where drama intersects with music, dance and spoken word presentations. These inclusive platforms expand access to stage opportunities for both drama students and peers across artistic disciplines.

Though LTC does not confer specific theatre qualifications such as certifiable diplomas in acting or design, it embeds drama as an enriching strand within its senior curriculum. Students benefit from production practice, ensemble experience, and external arts collaborations—all within a supportive educational setting as they prepare for tertiary studies or arts pathways afterward.
