Creative Arts

The Creative Arts Department has had a busy start to the year, preparing and organising exciting opportunities for our students. Auditions for our highly anticipated school musical, Spamalot have been held, and we were impressed by the immense talent and creativity on display.

Visual Arts students are also contributing to Spamalot as part of the Musical Creative Arts Team. Twenty-five students have eagerly volunteered to assist with set and costume design for the production. The first meeting, held last week, highlighted their enthusiasm and dedication to the project.

Another exciting opportunity for students is the Junior and Senior Dance Troupe. Auditions have taken place and teams have now been finalised. Congratulations to all students who secured a place -the competition was fierce. It is wonderful to see the Dance Troupe Program continue to flourish and expand.

Wynnum SHS Bands are up and running, with lessons starting in Week 3. This year, there are four bands – Symphonic, Concert, Big, and Stage – comprising a total of 120 students. We’re looking forward for another successful year of Instrumental Music. Our Music teachers have also been busy preparing and planning for the Music Program of Excellence that has also commenced. This year, 45 students will be taking part in this new and fantastic program. We are excited to watch the students develop their skills and flourish in this enriching experience.

Year 12 Visual Arts in Practice students have begun an assessment task where they will design and create a school mural. They are currently working on a design proposal, aiming to develop a mural that reflects the school’s environment, culture, and community. It’s an exciting and meaningful project, and we can't wait to see what they produce.

Media students are also preparing for an exhilarating year of filmmaking, storytelling, and industry experiences. This year, students from Years 7 to 12 will explore photography, video editing, animation, and production while working on new creative projects. The WSHS Film Festival will return, showcasing student work and featuring a special industry guest. The Certificate III in Screen and Media will continue, providing real-world experience in film, television, and digital media. In addition, the WSHS Media Club is expanding, offering students opportunities to produce school content and cover live events.

With so many opportunities ahead, students can look forward to an inspiring and action-packed year, filled with creative expression and collaboration. The Creative Arts Department is committed to providing an environment where students can continue to develop their skills and passion for The arts.
