Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Visual Arts Enrichment Workshop Local Aboriginal Artist Nita Corderoy visited our school and conducted an amazing painting workshop with Aboriginal students in Years 7, 8 and 9. Students heard her stories and influences and then completed canvas paintings or drawings of their own. It was a very enriching workshop and students completed work that was outstanding. Congratulations to all students involved.
