The Arts
From Year Seven, our students experience the joy of art, music, dance, drama and creativity, relishing in the opportunities provided to them by experienced and innovative teachers who are passionate about arts education.
The Arts Faculty has a unique structure that works closely with our Co-curricular School of Performing Arts; together they have generated world-renowned Alumni including Dami Im (2005), Ballerina Lina Kim-Wheatstone (2007) and Theatrical Performer Loren Hunter (2008).

The Arts is a learning area that draws together related but distinct art forms. While these art forms have close relationships and are often used in interrelated ways, each involves different approaches to arts practices and critical and creative thinking that reflect distinct bodies of knowledge, understanding and skills. The curriculum examines past, current and emerging arts practices in each art form across a range of cultures and places.
The Arts department offers subjects in: - Dance
- Drama
- Music
- Music Extension
- Visual Art.

The Arts aims to
develop students' potential in:
- creativity, critical thinking, aesthetic knowledge and understanding about arts practices, through making and responding to artworks with increasing self-confidence
- arts knowledge and skills to communicate ideas; they value and share their arts and life experiences by representing, expressing and communicating ideas, imagination and observations about their individual and collective worlds to others in meaningful ways
- use of innovative arts practises with available and emerging technologies, to express and represent ideas while displaying empathy for multiple viewpoints
- understanding of Australia’s histories and traditions through the arts, engaging with the artworks and practices, both traditional and contemporary, of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
- understanding of local, regional and global cultures, and their art histories and traditions, through engaging with the worlds of artists, artworks, audiences and arts professions.
