🎓 Class 12 Project - Student Feature: Skyla Whitehorn

Hello everyone, my name is Skyla, and for my Class 12 Project I’m exploring the question:

❓ How can the integration of Art and Dance Therapy support the mental health of adolescents?

Ever since I was little, I have been passionate about art and dance, and that passion has only grown throughout high school. These activities have always brought me joy, but I’ve also experienced the positive impact they’ve had on both my physical and mental wellbeing. That’s why I knew they would be the perfect focus for my Project.

As I began researching, I discovered Art Therapy and Dance Movement Therapy. I had heard of them before, but I was surprised by how little they are discussed compared to traditional approaches like Talk Therapy, despite research showing they can improve emotional regulation, mood, cognitive functioning, and overall wellbeing for people of all ages, including adolescents.

During my research I also came across the concept of Multimodal Creative Therapy, which combines different creative therapies into one treatment. I was immediately intrigued and wanted to explore how Art Therapy and Dance Movement Therapy could complement each other. Although I discovered there is very little research on integrating these two therapies, that only made me more curious to investigate their potential benefits.

For my Practical, I will be designing and delivering a movement and visual art workshop to explore how these creative therapies can work together.

If you have any experience or insights related to my topic, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to get in touch at [email protected]

🎓 Class 12 Project - Student Feature: Christopher Hadland

Hello, my name is Chris, and for my Class 12 Project I will be exploring the question:

❓ How can understanding our genetic predispositions help us make informed life choices?

I chose this topic because I am fascinated by the complex role genetics play in shaping who we are and how we interact with our environment. While our lifestyle choices can have a significant impact on our health and wellbeing, genetics can also influence the risks and opportunities we experience throughout our lives.

One example that sparked my interest is the story of Jim Fixx, the famous running advocate and author of The Complete Book of Running. Fixx was a former heavy smoker who transformed his lifestyle and became a passionate runner. Despite these positive changes, he died from a heart attack while running at the age of 52. Investigations suggested that a combination of genetics and earlier lifestyle factors, including smoking, poor diet, and obesity, contributed to his severe coronary artery disease. His story highlights the complex relationship between genetics and personal choices.

Through this Project, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of how genetic predispositions influence health, behaviour, and life outcomes, and how this knowledge can help people make more informed decisions about their future.
I am currently exploring ideas for my Practical component and look forward to developing this aspect of the Project as my research progresses.

Class 12 Project Practical Events

What happens when research moves beyond the page?

After months of investigating complex and fascinating questions, our Class 12 students are now bringing their learning to life through their Project Practicals. There are a range of opportunities to experience the ideas behind their research through interactive exhibits, performances, workshops and immersive experiences.

From exploring the stories that shape our relationships, connecting with the beauty of our coral reefs, creating nourishing food, experiencing the sensory, celebrating the value of human creativity, telling truth through original music, and much more—each of these Practicals offer a unique perspective on an issue that matters.

Be curious and inspired by our young people. Come along, explore, ask questions, and experience their remarkable work. In this edition we have a number of Practicals for you to attend, including our Practical Perspectives Day, planned for Saturday 21st August. We’d love to see you there supporting our Class 12 students.

🎓 Class 12 Project - Student Feature: Elena Ryall

Ever since I was little, I’ve loved music videos. Seeing a visual representation of music fascinated me and helped shape my own audio-visual imagination.

For my Project, I originally wanted to explore the decline of cinematography in movies, but after researching I realised the topic involved so many socio-economic issues that it would become overwhelming. After discussing it with my supervisor, the amazing Liesl, I decided to narrow my focus to music videos instead.

My question is:

❓ How did the decline of physical music media sales and the growth of digital distribution in the 2000s reshape the individuality and creative direction of music videos?

I already knew musicians were often underpaid, but my research revealed the problem was far worse than I had imagined. For example, did you know Spotify pays the average artist around $0.003 per stream? Artist income is inconsistent, unsustainable and, in many cases, unethical.

For my Practical, I’m creating a narrative music video that I hope raises awareness of the financial struggles musicians face. Many people are unaware of how little artists earn or how misleading some record label contracts can be. While success in music has always depended on the subjective tastes of audiences, the "starving artist" stereotype does not have to remain a reality.

Through this Project, I’ve gained a much deeper understanding of how challenging the modern music industry has become. We can better support musicians by choosing higher-paying streaming platforms, such as Tidal, and by purchasing physical music and merchandise. Streaming offers convenience and discovery, but physical purchases provide artists with far greater financial support. The next time you listen to music, consider how much your favourite artist earns from each stream, and whether there’s another way you can support them.

Thank you for reading.
