In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts.
Studying the creative arts, students learn to appreciate, compose, listen, make and perform. Each art form has its own unique knowledge and skills, elements or concepts as well as a capacity to inspire and enrich lives.
Students must study 100 hours of both music and visual arts during Years 7 to 10. They also have an opportunity to further develop their knowledge and skills in other art forms through elective subjects including drama, dance, photography and visual design. Students can then select from a range of courses in Years 11 to 12.
The creative and performing arts (CAPA) staff are dedicated to ensuring students are able to explore their creative sides.
Students have many opportunities to showcase their skills in many regular performances and exhibitions including:
- Central Vision Exhibition
- FrightFest
- Sculpture by the Bay
- Gallery Walk
- Rock Eisteddfod
- Central Coast Dance Festival
- Central Coast Showcase
- Tumbi Rocks
