The Arts

Visual Arts

Visual Arts are taught in a weekly one-hour lesson and also integrated into our Inquiry units. Students have the opportunity to create artworks and craft to submit to local competitions such as the Marysville Art Show, the Alexandra Agricultural Show and the Murrindindi Beanie Festival.

Music

Music lessons are one hour per week. Students learn to play steel pans, keyboard, guitar and ukulele in addition to the fundamentals of rhythm, percussion, movement and music appreciation. We have an annual end of year performance and participate in local musical community events.

Media Arts

Media Arts are integrated into our STEM lessons. Students learn to create animations and short films using stop-motion and green screen technologies, to share with their peers. Students have also created animations for the community, to accompany the interpretation boards in the Land for Wildlife area.

Dance

Informal dance activities and formal dance sessions occur throughout the year, culminating in an end-of-year celebration. Students explore the fundamentals of movement, timing, rhythm and co-ordination.

Drama

Students study drama in Semester 2 each year, culminating in a school play performance at the end of the year. All students are involved in the production, either on stage or behind the scenes. Drama lessons explore body language, movement, improvisation and developing characters.
