Creative Arts Subjects
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
