Our HSC, Visual Arts students have worked incredibly hard despite many challenges in the development and execution of their Bodies of work.
The Articulate showcase 2021 celebrates the efforts of both our students and their teachers across the diocese by including an inspiring collection encompassing all expressive forms. Some of our students have submitted works that are unresolved or part of a larger piece that was not able to be fully realised given the lockdown this year. We invite you to explore the gallery and appreciate the courage and determination of our young artists.
The Articulate Online Gallery also acknowledges the dedication and professionalism of the teachers and the support and commitment of the school community.
