Creative arts

Creative arts is mandatory for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. 

In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts where they 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.

At Kalinda school students must study both music and visual arts during Years 7 to 10 through the Life Skills Curriculum. They also have an opportunity to further develop their knowledge and skills in other art forms including drama and dance. In Year 11 and 12 Kalinda School students continue using the Life Skills curriculum to access the creative arts.
