In 2013 Elisabeth Murdoch College will be offering a specialised Performing Arts Program for students in Years 7 through to 10. Selected students will be part of either a combined Year 7/8 or 9/10 Home group. Upon entry in Year 7 it is recommended that students will remain in the program for 4 years dependent upon a satisfactory performance level, commitment and attitude. Performing Arts Pathways at EMC are available for Years 7 through to VCE.

The Performing Arts Program is a full-time integrated academic and artistic program which caters for students with a passion and talent for the Performing Arts.
