Arts

God created people to experience, enjoy, and respond to His creation. Imagination, fantasy, creativity, and aesthetic appreciation are among God’s gifts to us. Through the Arts programs students are able to respond with opportunities to develop their individual gifts and talents and to learn to appreciate God’s gifts in others.

 The Arts program includes:

• Visual Arts – weekly lessons experimenting and using a variety of materials, techniques, technologies and processes to produce artworks. Students also prepare work to display in the College and in the wider community, eg. Art Shows
• Music – weekly lessons involving singing, choir, learning about and playing different styles of music, understanding basic theory, learning to play untuned and tuned instruments, particularly instruments from other countries
• Drama – puppets, short plays, reader’s theatre, mini and full musicals

Students have the opportunity to perform in short plays, choirs and instrumental ensembles in assemblies, at school events, preschools and at other community events, such as Carols in the Park. Students also have the opportunity to be involved in a whole school musical every second year.
