Creative arts

Creative arts is mandatory for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. 

In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts where they learn to appreciate, compose, listen, make and perform.

Each art form has its own unique knowledge and skills, elements or concepts as well as a capacity to inspire and enrich lives.

Band & Strings Program

As a school, we value the arts and firmly believe in the importance of music in the curriculum. Being part of a music ensemble provides numerous benefits and opportunities. Not only will your child learn to play their instrument with their friends, they will also learn the skills of concentration, perseverance and self‐discipline. 

Recruitment takes place in Term 4 each year for the following year and it is not just for students in Years 1 and 2. We encourage older students to also think about taking up an instrument, understanding that they will be accelerated through the program if they progress at a faster rate to their peers. 

Fiona Brock will conduct our Strings groups and Tim Doubinski will conduct our Band.

To create a successful program we require positive parental involvement. Encouraging your child to practice and ensure weekly lessons are attended, really helps the student to progress and enjoy learning their instrument.

Please see the EHPS Band & Strings website for more information.

If you wish your child to join a band or string ensemble, or have a related question, please contact the school office.
