On the 15th of February, our Year 11 Visual Art students had the experience of a lifetime with an excursion to the Art Gallery of NSW, including the Brett Whiteley Studio.
The excursion focused on ARTEXPRESS 2018 which features a selection of outstanding student artworks developed for the artmaking component of the HSC examination in Visual Arts 2017, ARTEXPRESS 2018 provides insight into students’ creativity and the issues important to them.
The exhibition encompasses a broad range of approaches and expressive forms, including ceramics, collection of works, documented forms, drawing, graphic design, painting, photomedia, printmaking, sculpture, textiles and fibre, and time-based forms.
Our Visual Arts students enjoyed looking through the inspirational gallery, where in only two years, their HSC work may too be featured in the gallery.

✨✨Student Spotlight ✨✨ On Wednesday the 8th March Sienna Hansen of Year 12 had the honour of attending the International Women's Day event for her Local Government Area. She was nominated for International Women's Day Young Female of the Year for her LGA. Although she did not receive the award, we are extremely proud and honoured for her nomination. Sienna was nominated for this award as she applied for the position on the Council for Youth Ambassador for 16 to 24 year olds two years ago and although she was very young, she interviewed and was given the position. In her first year in that role, she was involved in organising activities for 13 to 18 year olds, such as Halloween nights, Disco's and looking after young people's Mental Health. The following year she applied again and was granted the position once again. Sienna highlights that the importance of this day for her was the recognition of the difference between equity and equality. It's the importance of acknowledging that equity means that we don't all start from the same place, but to recognise the imbalances that we need to provide for people who are less fortunate than us. Congratulations Sienna on this incredible achievement!
