PATHWAYS ELECTIVE: 

IMPACT 

Year 9

What is the subject about?

 

IMPACT (Inspiring Musicians, Performers and Artist to Create Together)

 

This is a year long elective

 

Students who choose IMPACT must select another Art elective over a semester. 

 

 

 

 

IMPACT strives to provide our students with opportunities to explore a rich arts education with creative classes in music, drama, dance, media, visual Arts, and visual communication design, taught by experts in an Arts field. The particulars of the program, and carer pathways we investigate, will be driven by student voice and will change according to the students participating.

 

Through Year 9 IMPACT we will strive to inspire students to hold the arts in the highest regard, and to be actively involved in their education through creative inquiry and embracing ideas together and exploring pathways that will lead into VCE arts subjects

 

People should join Impact because it's fun, you get to work on your art skills (like colouring, drawing and shading), you get a professional drawer (Emily) and you get to do a radio show (you even get to go see a live radio show). You will get to go on a fun excursion like to see Mary Poppins live in a theatre and a live radio show. All you got to do is make IMPACT for a whole year of fun and entertainment. Emma D
