The Arts

At Antonio Park Primary School our Arts program enables all students from Foundation to Grade 6 to enjoy and participate in varied experiences in Visual Art, Music and in the Performing Arts.

Visual Art

Our Visual Arts program nurtures creativity, imagination, and self-expression at every stage of a student’s journey from Foundation to Year Six.

Students engage in weekly, 50 minute sessions with hands-on art lessons in a purpose-built Art Room, equipped with a kiln and a comprehensive range of materials and resources. Our program explores all areas of the Art curriculum - blending traditional and contemporary practices to build skills and confidence.

Students experiment with line, shape, and colour through drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, digital art and construction. Lessons are often linked to classroom themes, encouraging deeper connections across learning areas. With a focus on process over perfection, students are encouraged to express themselves freely, with expression through learned skills and personal creative growth being our priority.

Students are also given opportunities to present and discuss their artwork, helping them develop confidence in sharing their creative ideas. Displays of student work are showcased around the school and are available to view throughout the year, celebrating the artistic journey of each learner.

Every second year, the Antonio Park Art Show is a huge highlight on the school calendar!

Performing Arts

Students are exposed to music, drama and dance over the course of a year. They attend one 50 minute lesson each week. Students have the opportunity to perform at assemblies, school functions, community venues, and the annual school production.

Performing in a primary whole school production builds confidence, teamwork, and creativity. Students work together to learn songs, dances, and scripts, showcasing their talents for the school community. It’s a joyful and memorable experience that fosters a sense of achievement, belonging, and pride in contributing to a shared performance.

The Music Program focuses on helping students enjoy learning key musical concepts such as beat, rhythm, tone colour, melody, and style in meaningful and engaging ways.

Listening forms the foundation of all music learning. Students actively listen to, create, and perform music across a broad range of styles, reflecting diverse cultures, historical periods, and places.

They explore composition and performance through various means, including voice, body percussion, instruments, everyday sound sources and digital tools.

Production

Our annual school productions are always a highlight of the school year. They are the culmination of countless hours of hard work by teachers, support staff, our wonderful community, and of course... our talented students!

Our school productions receive enormous support from our school community in the form of costume making, prop building, make up, dance, choreography, photography, program design and much more.

To be able to present quality performances over two consecutive nights involving all children is always a credit to the entire Antonio Park community.
