By making artworks students learn to formulate ideas, make connections, critically analyse their own thought processes, problem solve, take risks and give form to images and objects and to represent ideas, experiences and understandings.

Students study a broad range of subject matter including people, other living things, objects, places and spaces, events and contemporary issues. Students study the art of Australia and other cultures.

By studying artworks and images students come to know their own culture and develop their capacity to respond, interpret and form opinions. These skills are seen to be critical in becoming an active and engaged member of the workforce of today and in the future.
