From the Art Room

“Where it is not about being right, it is about being different."

The Art Room is a hive of activity where we explore different mediums and techniques from Prep to Year 6 in weekly classes. Students are encouraged to use their imagination to invent, design, experiment, express and create. We are inspired by artists from different cultures and times, nature, our environment, culture, spirituality, ourselves and by each other.

We learn about ourselves as we grow as artists, explore what makes us unique, think about what is important to us and discover what is important to other people. We observe, listen, feel, discuss, express, create and share.

Instilling and nurturing a love and appreciation for Visual Arts is embedded in everything we do in the Art Room.
