About this Learning Area
Learning Area Leader: Sue Horton
The Arts have the capacity to engage, inspire and enrich all students, exciting the imagination and encouraging them to reach their creative and expressive potential. The Arts entertain, challenge, provoke responses and enrich our knowledge of self, communities, world cultures and histories. The Arts contribute to the development of confident and creative individuals, nurturing and challenging active and informed citizens.
Learning in the Arts encourages students to be critical thinkers, develop creative solutions in a rapidly changing world and empathy for the viewpoints of others - whilst providing a multitude of opportunities for students to develop talents and skills in areas they are passionate about. It is essential that students practice the required techniques and processes to ensure the successful improvement of their practical skills.
Students undertaking Stage 2 Music with a performance focus must also undertake instrumental lessons on their chosen instrument/voice.
