The exhibition will showcase the work of pupils and students from Year 3 to Year 13, from both Prep and Senior Schools. The Schools celebrate the individuality of students, providing them with a strong foundation in the formal elements of art and design and a range of fine art skills including printing, ceramics, sculpture, drawing and painting. In the Senior School students can take part in textiles, art and photography workshops in Years 7, 8 and 9, to prepare them for their exam choices.
