Creative Arts
Leader of Learning Creative Arts and Languages – Mr Stephen Walter
At St Mary’s Catholic College, we offer students an excellent range of subjects and courses within the Creative Arts Learning area. In the Creative Arts, students are encouraged to explore their ideas and interests and relate them to the world around them while developing skills and understanding within their preferred discipline. These subjects also allow students to develop a range of skills for the of 21st century including creative thinking, problem solving, collaboration and communication.
