IGNITE EXCELLENCE: CREATIVE ARTS OPPORTUNITIES
At Grace Lutheran College the Creative Arts offer a suite of co-curricular opportunities to students from Year 7 - 12. These opportunities allow students to develop a growing love for creative arts including Visual Art, Media, and Film and Television. Students are able to enrich their learning experiences beyond the classroom to experience new methods, mediums and practices which allows them to extend their skills. The opportunities also allow students to engage in experiences through workshops with artists and filmmakers; and build networks through partnerships with outside organizations by entering work into competitions and exhibitions.
The Art and Film Masterclasses are afterschool opportunities open to students who are looking to deepen their skills and understanding of practices in their chosen creative field. In Art Masterclass students in Year 8-12 will engage in Term-long projects that will be exhibited at our end of Semester showcases.

These masterclasses meet each week.
