Creative arts is mandatory for students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
The aim of the Creative Arts K–6 Syllabus is for students to develop:
- artistic and aesthetic knowledge, understanding and skills in Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts
- curiosity, creativity and imagination
- self-expression and collaboration
- an understanding of how creative works convey meaning about cultures and contexts
- foundations for cultural citizenship.
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.
