The Arts
The Arts – Music, Visual Arts, Drama, Dance, Aspire
Our collaborative approach to the Arts ensures our students work with a dedicated team of passionate Arts professionals to build skills and qualities that enable students to shine.
Regular performance opportunities encourage students to light up the stage, with real world learning in action as students discover dance, drama, music and extend their confidence across a variety of disciplines.
Visual Art & Design
Visual Art is offered from ELC through to Year 12, with opportunities for students to specialise in Design from Year 10.
Throughout their learning, students engage with a diverse range of traditional and digital 2D and 3D media while exploring the work of various artists and designers. Emphasis is placed on developing practical skills, visual analysis, and personal expression, fostering creativity and confidence in each student.
Students are also provided with opportunities to connect with the “real world” of visual display through both College-based and external exhibitions. These include SALA, the College’s Loft Gallery, and the annual Year 12 Regional Art and Design Exhibition, allowing students to showcase their work to a broader audience.
Senior Design students undertake authentic, client-based projects within the College community. These include designing wine labels for the annual Mengler View wine releases, creating the cover for the Footprints College magazine, and producing promotional materials such as posters for College events.
Information Processing & Publishing (IPP)
Students in Years 11 and 12 with an interest in Design can further develop their skills through the SACE Information Processing & Publishing (IPP) subject. This course has a strong graphic design focus, with students creating products for real-world business and marketing applications.
Whether it’s a student-driven lunchtime opportunity at the Junior School, or part of our Curriculum at Middle and Senior School, students at Faith love to dance!
All students in Year 7 and 8 experience Dance as part of a subject rotation through the Arts.
From Year 9, students can elect to study Dance for one semester or the whole year. Dance as a subject is available through to Senior School, including SACE in Year 11 and Year 12.
