Creative Arts

CREATIVE ARTS subjects offer students a variety of skills and knowledge to suit all needs. Creative Arts subjects are chosen by students who have an interest in a particular area, as well as students who wish to pursue a career or Tertiary studies in an area of the Arts.

There are a number of benefits for students who choose any of the Creative Arts subjects:

• The courses are skilled based and therefore offer a contrast to courses which are more content based. This allows students to develop a more varied home study routine.
• Students can choose which areas of each course they wish to specialise in and which components they wish to do for the HSC
• Depending on which areas students specialise in, much of the HSC exam can be completed before the actual HSC exam period, thus decreasing possible exam pressures.
• Creative Arts subjects also provide skills which are important for any career. These are:
  • ability to work independently
  • ability to interpret and solve problems
  • ability to think creatively
  • increased self-confidence
  • ability to critically evaluate
  • Photography, Drama, Visual Arts and Music are available to all students, even if Creative Arts subjects were not done in Years 9 and 10
