Year 9 Introduction to Creative Industries

Step behind the scenes and discover how live performances, events and productions come to life. This subject introduces students to the dynamic world of the Creative Industries, with a focus on live production, technical skills and event coordination.

Students will gain hands-on experience in areas such as lighting, sound, staging, and front-of-house operations, while developing essential workplace skills in teamwork, communication and problem-solving. Working alongside the College Production and other events, students take an active role in real-world creative projects.

This subject provides a strong foundation for further study through a VET Certificate II in Creative Industries, with pathways into Certificate III Live Production and Technical Services and VET Music Industry Skills.
