Throughout the course of my Art and Design leadership role I learnt valuable lessons on leadership, from public speaking to introducing the initiative ‘Captain’s Choice’ which shared various artworks from girls in the younger Years. This project will continue in 2022 to give greater insight into the incredible creative abilities of our students.

Throughout 2021, St Catherine’s School’s media producers, artists and designers have continued to develop their individual visual language and learning to communicate with images. Students have illustrated, painted, filmed, drawn, stitched, photographed, sculpted, built and designed in the studios and at home. Whilst the second half of the year created uncertainty, online lessons supported well visualised and resolved art, design and media products. The exceptional work of our VCE students, particularly when this cohort unexpectedly went home for a week that extended far past the initial timeframe, is a credit to their resilience, skill and agency.

In 2021, we continued to believe in, and support students as they explored how to communicate through the Visual Arts curriculum.
