Visual Arts

Both Year 7 and 8 students have the opportunity to participate in 16, one and half hour sessions of practical art per year, with each class split into two groups. One coming for approx. 6 weeks and the other following for the next 6 weeks.

During these fun-filled sessions students will be taught a variety of technical knowledge and skills through an exploration of different medias.

Compositional drawing, use and application of colour in painting, sculptural forms and print making are some of the experiences on offer.

Students will be encouraged to explore, problem solve, and create unique and imaginative compositions in a thematic approach to success.

There is also a successful art extension programme to both year 7 and 8 artists. Whereby students are identified through timetabled art classes to design and create new and colourful murals to adorn the "gisint" environment.

Please look at a sample of awesome artwork from our talented year 7 and 8 students on display on our website Photo Gallery. Moreover the catalogue of our recent art auction images are also online for your inspection. The proceeds from this great event will help support the building of a central sculptural piece for our school environment.
