If you are a year 10, 11 or 12 in 2025, are creative, enjoy making art, enjoy being outside and possibly thinking about a pathway in art, design or architecture...this opportunity is for you! We are launching our first ever Senior Years Art and Design Camp to Sydney and Bundanon NSW April 30th - May 3rd, 2025. Only 20 spots available!
Students and staff fly to Sydney, visit galleries and artist studios, and stay the night overlooking the Sydney Opera House. The next day we take a charter bus to Bundanon Riversdale Art Education precinct to stay onsite and participate in three days of artist-run workshops immersed in the Shoalhaven River landscape. We have special guest evening workshops, including a First Nations artist and a low light night photography session. On the last day we bus back to Sydney and fly home.
Year 11
The year 11 students are working hard as we quickly head towards the end of the year. We wish those students who are completing an exam for their year 12 subject good luck! Hopefully all of your hard work pays off and you feel better prepared to tackle year 12.
The year 11 exams will take place in week 7 from the 18th - 21st November. This timetable will be sent out to students and families shortly. Students are only required to be on site when they are completing an exam, however they are welcome to study in the library in between these sessions. Year 11 students will then have 4 days of early commencement for year 12, from the 25th-28th of November.
Lastly, a reminder to put in your order for your year 12 jumper ASAP as these orders will be closing soon. If students or parents/guardians have any questions about any of this, please contact Ms. Sullivan: Claire.Sullivan@education.vic.gov.au

Year 12
Students in year 12 Art Making + Exhibiting students have submitted their major artwork and folio. Here is a sneak peek into what they have created...
Artist: Missy Richmond
Title: 'Overcoming’ 2024
Materials: Crepe paper, white raku clay, wire
H 60cm, W 50cm
This monumental sculpture is inspired by growth and overcoming of hard times anxiety puts you through. Through the use of scale and organic curves, the work aims to overwhelm the viewer with joy. The transition from stone-like earthenware to the contrasting lively flower bouquet emphasises the message that there is always a way out of difficult times.
Year 12's Celebration Day!
