The school is also a strong promoter of the performing arts through its involvement with the Malthouse Theatre's "Suitcase Series", student radio station SYN FM (originating at the school as 3TD FM),[2] and Class TV, a student-produced television program airing on Channel 31,[3] winner of two Antenna Awards[citation needed] for Best Youth Program.
