These offerings allow for the broadening of the pupils' experiences in the arts. The Arts is an important area of development for children.
For all Co-curricular enquiries please email co-curricular@somerset.qld.edu.auKey aspects include:
-
People participate in and enjoy the arts in a wide range of contexts and art forms and at any time of life. The arts play a pivotal role in shaping a sense of social and cultural identity.

-
The areas covered by the arts are never neutral. They are the embodiment of values, opinions and choices. The arts can be used to preserve and maintain tradition; they can also be dynamic agents of social change.
