Creative arts

Creative arts is mandatory for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. 

In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts where they learn to appreciate, compose, listen, make and perform.

Each art form has its own unique knowledge and skills, elements or concepts as well as a capacity to inspire and enrich lives.

The Art Club is an excellent chance for students to explore their creative sides in a supportive environment. A specialised Art teacher, Miss Lewington encourages students to experiment with different mediums and mark making to produce truly unique and inspiring works of art.  

Here at West Ryde, children also have the opportunity to take part in our annual school photographic competition. There are awards given to the best photographs in each stage and the ever popular 'People's Choice Award'.
