All students benefit from a comprehensive Arts program, delivered by Mrs. Fitzgerald (Performing arts and Choir) Ms. Bowman (Ukelele teacher)
Performing Arts
Students learn the fundamentals of music, dance, drama and media arts while engaging in fun, hands-on lessons that incorporate a range of tools including green screen technologies and film making. Children learn to listen, interpret, create and critique art works from a variety of genres. All students are encouraged to perform to their class to help develop their confidence in front of groups.
The school choir (year 3-6) provides performance opportunities both at school and in the community.
Dance and drama allow students to collaborate creatively as they learn how to move their bodies and use their voice to express ideas and feelings.
Private music lessons and department funded music lessons are available at the school in strings, guitar and piano and drums. Please contact the office for more information about the cost and availability of these lessons. These students will also have the option of participating in a school band.
Year 5 students learn to play the ukulele. We have been fortunate enough to have had a class set of ukuleles donated by the Blackwood Rotary club which will enable all students to have the opportunity to learn an instrument.
Visual Arts
Our classroom teachers provide a variety of learning experiences that allow students to explore drawing, painting, printing and sculpture techniques. With a foundation in fundamentals, students can pursue topics that inspire them to develop their own artistic works.
