We offer a Creative Arts program in the areas of Visual Arts, Music, Dance and Drama, giving children opportunities to gain confidence and develop social and cognitive skills they wouldn’t necessarily gain in other subjects.

 

The school has well equipped Art and Music Rooms and a large Multi-Purpose Centre that enables Music and Drama performances, Dance classes and school socials.

 

Visual Arts

Students are able to explore their creativity in painting, drawing and sculpturing as well as many other activities.

• Compulsory from Kindergarten to Year 8, available as an elective subject years 9 – 12.

 

Music

We recognise that students all have different ways of thinking and learning, and musical intelligence is recognised as being important in a child’s overall development. Involvement in music programs is known to increase self-esteem, and enhance a child’s understanding of the world around them and their place in it. The benefits flow across many areas of their learning.

• Compulsory from Kindergarten to Year 8, available as an elective subject years 9 – 12.

• Music tutors in piano, brass, drums, guitar and singing attend the school to teach private lessons.

 

Dance

Through Dance, students aim to develop knowledge, skills and understanding in appreciating and performing dances from a range of cultural contexts. Dances are drawn from a variety of sources, including contemporary and popular dance, modern dance, bush dance, and indigenous, folk and traditional dances.

• Compulsory from Kindergarten to Year 6.
