The last month in The Arts has been a busy one. In the classroom our students have been excelling whilst finishing off their final artworks for the semester. The stand of work being produced this year is super high and very impressive. Outside of the classroom, we haven’t let COVID get in the way of putting on some fantastic performance and showcase nights, highlighting the amazing work achieved in The Arts this year.
