The Arts 

Visual Arts

Last term students participated the National Gallery of Victoria’s Triennial Virtual excursion program. Philanthropist Krystyna Campbell-Pretty and the NGV also provided the school with resources for a hands-on workshop, publications and a small gift for each student that participated. The resources arrived last week and students have begun making their own trophies and awards influenced by Diamond Stingily’s In the middle but in the corner of 176th place installation at the Triennial. Many thanks to Krystyna Campbell-Pretty and the NGV for including our students in this valuable program.

Sculpture and stick puppet construction in Year F/1:
