Wednesday saw the first ‘Monthly Atrium Lunchtime Concert’, a CAS project initiative from four Year 11 students, coincide with the first exhibition week. As an introduction to their project, the four student sponsors performed, presenting a solo vocal performance, a piano duet, and a vocal quartet. We are looking forward to sign-ups for the June lunchtime concert, now the initiative has been successfully launched.

Y7 Logo Design: 

From Year 7 Design, we exhibited selected posters which show the process of how students explored ‘Form can Communicate Identity’ from designing a logo, either for a new product or company or improving an existing one. 

Y8 IDU (Music + Design) Public Service Announcements: 

For their 2nd unit this school year, Y8 Students completed an IDU integrating music and design knowledge and skills. Students did this by creating a “Public Service Announcement” (PSA) advocating for inclusion. For many students it was a chance to practice being caring by identifying peers who are sometimes excluded and creating a video which spreads a message to include them. For many it was also their first time using video editing software to design an impactful visual and sound experience. 

The statement of inquiry for this unit is: “Advocating inclusion is the role of a communicator with a caring perspective.” 

The goal of this unit is: to integrate our music and design knowledge to advocate inclusion for others in a complex world. To accomplish this goal students had to develop a caring perspective towards others who are not included and take the role of communicator who can use music and design knowledge to create a PSA which advocates inclusion. 

All PSAs are currently being screened in the Atrium of the Secondary building.

Please enjoy this compilation of PSAs made by y8 design students.
