are there any other Career-related subjects?

YES. In addition to the 4x BTEC subjects that you can study at South Island School you can also study through our partnerships with HKAPA.
Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts (HKAPA) is a unique tertiary institution of higher education providing professional education, training and research facilities in the performing arts field. Due to limited availability acceptance onto this course will be dependent on passing a process of entry which includes a formal interview and recommendations from people in the field of performing arts.
The Extension and Continuing Education for Life (EXCEL) of HKAPA will be providing our IBCP students with their musical theatre programme that is accredited by Pearson BTEC Level 3 in Performing Arts.
Below are the details of the six musical theatre courses that our IBCP students take at HKAPA throughout the two years.
Module 1 – Performing to an Audience
This unit focuses on the realisation of rehearsed performance work to a live audience. It is the culmination of training, skills development and rehearsal work applied in the relevant performance discipline. Students will focus on their individual strengths in a performance role within the context of a full-scale theatre performance.
Module 2 – Jazz Dance
This unit will allow students to develop a good understanding of the style and key features of jazz dance, and develop dance skills working in a jazz style with the emphasis on practical work and performance.
Module 3 – Singing Techniques and Performance
This unit encourages the development and maintenance of the voice through regular and sustained practice. Singing at sight is also introduced and developed through the realisation of elementary vocal lines. It is also fundamental in developing the voice in terms of intonation, production and improving confidence.
Module 4 – Musical Theatre Performance
This unit enables the students to take part in a performance of musical theatre. Students will rehearse a role (or roles) which require them to use acting, singing and dancing skills in a musical theatre performance.
Module 5 – Singing Skills for Actors and Dancers
This unit enables students whose primary performance discipline is acting or dance to develop their singing skills. Students will be introduced to a range of different styles of singing and will rehearse and sing a number of different songs. Students will share their work with their peers in workshop performances of solo and ensemble pieces, which will take place on a regular basis.
Module 6 – Principles of Acting
In this unit the students will study key principles of acting using a range of techniques. Students will explore these principles both theoretically and practically and use the skills and techniques to develop characterisation and rehearse material for performance. The unit will also enable students to evaluate their rehearsal and performance processes and to consider the relative success of the different acting styles in communicating with an audience
