The Arts have the capacity to engage, inspire and enrich all students, exciting the imagination and encouraging them to reach their creative and expressive potential. The five Arts subjects in the Australian Curriculum are Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music, and Visual Arts. Together they provide opportunities for students to learn how to create, design, represent, communicate and share their imagined and conceptual ideas, emotions, observations and experiences.
The Arts entertain, challenge, provoke responses and enrich our knowledge of self, communities, world cultures and histories. The Arts contribute to the development of confident and creative individuals, nurturing and challenging active and informed citizens. Learning in The Arts is based on cognitive, affective and sensory/kinaesthetic response to arts practices as students revisit increasingly complex content, skills and processes with developing confidence and sophistication across their years of learning.

Co-Curricular
Instrumental Music
Music is a unique and integral part of life. It has the capacity to inspire all students' creativity and imagination, engage them in the art of expression, immerse them in a language and history that is rich in culture, provide them with opportunities beyond the classroom and excite them about life and learning.
The skills, concepts and attitudes that students acquire as a result of music education benefit them not only during their schooling but also in the years beyond, whatever their chosen career path.
The overarching purpose of the co‐curricular Instrumental Music Program is to provide students with the opportunity to become musicians and experience the expressive qualities of music through learning to play a band or orchestral instrument and to participate in performance ensembles such as concert bands and orchestras.

CSC Rock Band Program
At CSC we acknowledge the increasing interest our students are demonstrating in contemporary music and instruments. To cater for this, we are able to provide students with lessons on rock band instruments including guitar, bass guitar, keyboard, drumkit and vocals.
Students will participate in lessons across Term 1 to develop their technique. In Term 2, students will be placed in appropriate groups to form rock bands to develop their performance skills. Students will demonstrate these skills at a performance event in Term 2. This will be repeated across Term 3 and Term 4 with students continuing to develop their technique and performance skills.
