It has been a very busy and productive start to Term 2 in The Arts. Late last term, the College held its very successful Open Night for the year. Open Night was a huge success for the department, as curious parents and future students explored the possibilities we offer. Parents and students alike enjoyed participating in musical performances, ceramics, photography, painting and drawing. The Arts’ rooms all looked fantastic! Our Performing Arts department was also full of energy on the night with our talented Instrumental Music and Production students showcasing their talents. The energy and colour were wonderful and we are very grateful for the contribution from all of our students and staff.
Inside the classroom, our senior students in visual arts subjects are deep in creative mode, working on their major productions and artworks, whilst our junior students in art, ceramics, media, photography and VCD, are busy working on their art pieces for the semester. Our Year 9s have just done a wonderful job on decorating their hands using the Elements of Art. In the Performing Arts, our students in drama and music are beginning to work on and perfect their end of semester performances.
We can’t wait to see how all of their work turns out.
This year has also seen the exciting introduction of a Photojournalism club held at lunchtimes in D5. Recently the Photojournalism students did a fantastic job photographing all of the happenings at the Swimming Carnival where they some amazing images of the action.
