The Creative Arts Centre for Excellence has developed a distinctive approach to the teaching and learning of the Creative Arts, which has led to over 80% of students in our school studying at least one or more Creative Arts subject. Using the material covered in each subject, students develop skills in communication, technologies, critical and creative thinking, research and problem solving.
The Centre for Excellence hosts modern, subject-oriented buildings designed to accommodate industry-standard, discipline-specific technologies. These include specialised dance and drama spaces, focused film studios and editing suites, recording studios, digital gaming labs and extensive performance equipment.
Students have the opportunity to participate in our annual special events including a music showcase, visual arts expo, dance and drama productions and a film and television awards night. Numerous excursions to professional performances, exhibitions and workshops are also offered to extend student learning experiences.
The finest students in the Creative Arts Centre for Excellence are given the opportunity to showcase their talents on the world stage with the biennial Cultural Exchange to Europe. Students are selected for a three week tour of many culturally and historically significant sites across Europe.
Our Creative Arts Centre for Excellence is highly regarded in the school and by Education Queensland, and is recognised as the hub of the Creative Arts in the Redlands Community. We have established and nurtured strong partnerships with many community groups and individual creative industries professionals to give our students the opportunity to benefit from a range of authentic hands-on learning experiences within the Creative Industries.
