Why Study Arts? 

Our school offers Visual Art, Drama and Music through itinerant music lessons. Study in the Arts enables students to explore, create, affirm, and celebrate unique artistic expressions of self, community, and culture. They learn to engage and connect thinking, imagination, senses, and feelings. As students express and interpret ideas within creative, aesthetic, and technological frameworks, their confidence is increased, and personal wellbeing is enhanced. 

Arts education enables students to view the world from new perspectives, they learn to use imagination to engage with unexpected outcomes, to explore multiple solutions and to take risks. Through the arts students learn to communicate ideas, think, to work both independently and collaboratively to create work, and respond to and value others’ contributions. 

These are all skills that are highly valued and transferable in the modern world of work and will also give students a life-long appreciation and enjoyment of the arts throughout their lives.
