In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts.
Creative And Performing Arts (CAPA) encompasses the expressive areas of Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts. Within these subjects, it is possible to specialise in different media, discover new ways to express yourself and take advantage of the many opportunities to perform and exhibit your own creations.
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.
