At Yeronga State High school, we believe The Arts have the capacity to engage, inspire and enrich all students, stimulating the imagination and encouraging them to reach their creative and expressive potential. The Arts Academy at Yeronga State High School has blossomed over the last two years into a nurturing haven for creativity, echoing the sentiments of students themselves. It stands as a sanctuary, a safe space where budding artists, creators, and innovators find the soil to nurture their talents and let their imaginations soar. More than just a platform for artistic expression, it serves as a cradle for the vital skill of collaboration.
Furthermore, the evolving partnership with Melbourne University speaks volumes about the program's caliber. Aligning with the university's competency-based philosophy is a testament to the rigor and quality embedded within our curriculum. The upcoming implementation of micro-credentialing is a milestone, elevating the program's impact further. Students will not only foster their creativity and collaborative skills but will also earn a certificate from Melbourne University, a tangible validation of their growth in quality thinking, creativity, and collaboration. We are also uniquely positioned with our partnerships with Opera Queensland, La Boite and Circa Circus to connect students to the world outside the classroom and future pathways.
The Arts Academy is for a range of young artists and will mentor, support and develop their abilities and interests. We will place an intense focus on their art journey through school and ensure rich, creative experiences, access to artistic experts and connection to the outside art world are threaded through their school lives and education. Each student will have an individualised “art map" each year guiding their growth and development.
