Wesley is a place where students are encouraged to explore their creativity and artistic talents.
All students participate in music, drama, media, photography, dance and visual art during their time at the College.
In the Arts at Wesley, we believe that collaboration is key.
As part of the collaboration in the Arts, staff and students work shoulder to shoulder with artists and leading figures in the industry through new innovations such as the Arts Lab and Co-Lab.
Wesley Arts essentially becomes a conduit between the students and the artists who offer the opportunity for mentorship, networking and insight. As a result of these connections, we are able to push the creative envelope and realise incredibly creative opportunities that the whole community can enjoy and be proud of.
Recent Drama productions have included Oliver!, Little Shop of Horrors, Blood Brothers, Rent, and Avenue Q. Such offerings represent the daring nature of the Arts and our desire to challenge perceptions.
Our Art studios allow for everything from watercolours to mixed media, while our Media department has a full green screen studio for endless creative possibilities.
Music plays a meaningful role in life at Wesley. From Pre-kindergarten upwards, students are encouraged to engage with music. This is formalised in Year Five, when all students are required to learn an orchestral instrument for the year.
For students who elect to take up an instrument, we provide music-making at all levels, including a range of ensembles that allow plenty of performance opportunities.
Add in Dance, as well as Speech and Drama classes, and there is something for everyone.
