Creative arts is mandatory for students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts where they learn to appreciate, compose, listen, make and perform.
Each art form has its own unique knowledge and skills, elements or concepts as well as a capacity to inspire and enrich lives.
Our students engage in a range of creative arts activities as part of the syllabus supporting their development of skills and knowledge in;

In addition to this, there are many co curricular and extra curricular activities available for our students.
