The Arts

The Arts engage, inspire and enrich our lives. Calwell High School all students have the opportunity to study a wide range of arts courses, including Dance, Drama, Media, Music and Visual Arts. Our team of highly qualified and dedicated teachers endeavour to support students to become confident and creative individuals. We provide pathways through high school for students who wish to enrich their learning through the development of arts ideas, skills and processes and creative and critical thinking.

Year 7 and 8

Year 7 students rotate through a range of Arts subjects in units including Visual Arts, Music and Drama. During these courses, students are involved in the hands on creation of their own projects and performances. These units are designed to give students an introduction to the subject and to allow for further exploration of topics in future studies. In year 8 students are able to start refining their study pathways by selecting specialisations from The Arts

In year 7 and 8 students have the opportunity to select either Dance or PE as their choice for physical activity. Each Dance course includes a required health unit and gives students multiple opportunities for performances throughout the year.

Arts Opportunities

Throughout the year, the Arts program provides opportunities for students to participate in a range of activities. In additional to external excursions and performance opportunities, such as Ausdance Youth Dance Festival, Calwell High School also presents our own exhibitions and concerts in the form of Showcase and Arts Extravaganza.
