We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Creative Arts Stream in September 2026, which will incorporate all forms of creative art and design.
Creativity, curiosity, problem-solving, and ingenuity are hugely transferable skills in many industries. By providing our most creative students with opportunities to nurture and develop their skills through a carefully designed programme of activities and events, we are paving the way for successful careers in a wide range of creative and design industries.
The programme will include:
- Cultural and artistic trips and visits
- Visiting artists, designers and speakers
- Interactive practical workshops aimed at broadening studentsí experience of materials and processes as well
- as building skills
- Creating and delivering creative workshops in the community so that students experience first-hand the impacts and benefits of Art and Design for wellbeing and making positive change
- Public art projects
- Opportunities to exhibit work and see their own work in different contexts
- Opportunities to enter local, national and international competitions
- Working towards an Arts Award qualification
