Learning in Visual Arts involves students making and responding to artworks, drawing on the world as a source of ideas. Students engage with and develop knowledge of visual arts, skills, techniques and processes, and use materials as they explore a range of forms, styles and contexts.
The curriculum aims to develop the student’s confidence, curiosity, imagination and enjoyment and a personal aesthetic through engagement with visual arts making, viewing, discussing, analysing, interpreting and evaluating.
The Visual Arts are structured around the following four strands:
Explore and Express Ideas
Visual Arts Practices
Present and Perform
Respond and Interpret

Special Art
Special Art provides an opportunity for students to create and explore in an intimate, supportive environment where through the vehicle of Art, new relationships are formed and established relationships strengthened.
Advanced Art
Advanced Art participants experience an extension program that caters to students who demonstrate an aptitude for the subject. Advanced Art provides an opportunity to build a strong folio of work, helpful in supporting any future artistic endeavours.
