SWELL EXCURSION:

Last Friday, our Art Extension group attended the SWELL Sculpture Festival for a fantastic day of creativity and inspiration!

Twenty-five of our amazing young artists had the opportunity to participate in an artist-led workshop, where they created their own mosaicked pavers. Students then spent the rest of the day exploring the festival, interacting with artists, viewing the incredible sculptures and participating in a fun photography scavenger hunt.

We were incredibly proud of the way our students represented our school throughout the day. Their enthusiasm, curiosity and respectful behaviour were wonderful to see, and we received many lovely comments from members of the public about how polite and respectful our students were.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our young artists to experience art beyond the classroom, connect with practising artists and be inspired by the creativity on display at SWELL.

A wonderful day for our Art Extension students!
