Performing Arts Competitions
At Livingstone Christian College, students are encouraged to develop their God-given talents through a wide range of performing arts competitions, festivals and enrichment opportunities.
From local eisteddfods to state-wide music and drama programs, students have opportunities to represent the College, pursue excellence and gain valuable performance experience beyond the classroom.
Competitions & Festivals
Beenleigh, Gold Coast & Redlands Eisteddfods
Livingstone students participate in local and regional eisteddfods, showcasing their talents in music, dance, speech and drama.
Through solo and ensemble performances, students develop confidence, refine their skills and benefit from professional adjudication while representing the College.

Livingstone's student musicians have opportunities to compete in Battle of the ROCK Bands, an annual high-school rock music competition hosted by Clairvaux MacKillop College in Brisbane.
Competing alongside bands from across Queensland, students showcase their contemporary musicianship, creativity and teamwork on stage.
