Marrickville High School offers students a rich creative experience in the disciplines of: 

In the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA), students discover a variety of art forms through a study of drama, music and visual arts.

Students study 100 hours of both Music and Visual arts during Years 7 and 8, as well as engage in one period per week of Drama. When they reach Year 9, they can further develop their knowledge and skills by choosing one or more of these disciplines as an elective. Students can then select from a range of CAPA courses in Years 11 to 12. 

CAPA teachers ensure Marrickville students are always challenged and provided a range of immersive opportunities to work with local artists, theatre companies and performance groups. 

We also run a comprehensive extracurricular program in the Creative and Performing Arts, including ensembles, clubs and band programs.
