Here at Bonnyrigg High School, Creative Arts encompasses Visual Arts and Music. Drama is under the English department and Dance is under PDHPE. Our vision is for students to grow in learning and enjoy the arts to the fullest. Art, in its broadest meaning, is the expression of creativity or imagination.
Bonnrigg High School Courses
The Department of Education states:
In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts.
Studying the creative arts, students 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.
Students must study 100 hours of both music and visual arts during Years 7 to 10. They also have an opportunity to further develop their knowledge and skills in other art forms through elective subjects including drama, dance, photography and visual design. Students can then select from a range of courses in Years 11 to 12.
