ARTS SHOW 2019 - MERIT AWARDS

Last year in November, we celebrated the efforts and hard work of our Arts students at the annual Arts Show. 

 

Congratulations to Neda Lay, a very talented Year 11 student who filmed and edited this film clip Arts Show dvd from our Arts show last year.

 

 

The Arts Show was opened by Terry Matassoni, an Internationally renowned Australian artist who grew up in Swan Hill and was encouraged by his high school English teacher to pursue a career as an artist. 

 

So it was very appropriate to ask him to select some artworks from the Arts Show, that he deemed worthy of a Merit award. 

 

Congratulations to the following students who were chosen by Terry to receive a Merit Award. They will receive their certificates when we return to school.

YEAR 9 DRAMA CLASSES THIS TERM

Teaching and learning drama in isolation is a very different thing than being able to be in a normal classroom.

 

One of the ways we have kept our drama classes going is to make small videos at home and submitting them to be assessed online.

 

Here are two videos made in response to: "Tell a story using only your hands. Props, soundtrack, dialogue and subtitles allowed."

HIP HOP WORKSHOP

On Tuesday 5 May, the Year 9 Dance class participated in an online Hip Hop workshop. The workshop was run by The Space Dance and Arts Centre in Prahran, with instructor Brad Griffith.

The workshop was originally planned as an excursion to the Space’s studio, but due to COVID-19 and social distancing restrictions, it was turned into an online class. During the workshop, we learnt some basic hip hop moves and party dances such as the Bart Simpson and the Smurf. We also learnt a brief history of the dance style. The class being online took a bit of getting used to but it was as fun as I’m sure it would have been in the studio. For most of the people in the class it was all about trying something new and just having fun with it.

 

A big thank you to the Space for organising this workshop and our teacher Ms Angell for helping organise and joining in with us.
