Invitation to Visual Arts Camp is not confirmation that they will be placed in a Year 11 Visual Arts class. Preference goes to those who have selected Visual Arts as a top preference.

Senior Art Camp is a 2 night stay at Bundanon Art Centre, which will help students establish a strong foundation for their senior studies. This intensive program provides essential skills, structured artmaking time, and opportunities for students to explore their strengths and interests as they prepare for the HSC course.

Across three days of focused artmaking, students will immerse themselves in the local environment, work within a highly regarded art gallery and creative centre, and learn from specialist Visual Arts practitioners. This setting offers an exceptional opportunity for students to extend their practice, experiment with new techniques, and draw inspiration from professional artistic spaces.

The camp also supports the development of a positive, collaborative learning environment, helping students build confidence and creative momentum as they begin their senior Visual Arts journey.
