Creative arts is mandatory for students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of dance, drama, music and visual arts where they learn to appreciate, compose, listen, make and perform.
Each art form has its own unique knowledge and skills, elements or concepts as well as a capacity to inspire and enrich lives.
Students must study 100 hours of both music and visual arts during Years 7 to 10. They also have an opportunity to further develop their knowledge and skills in other art forms through elective subjects including drama, dance, photography and visual design. Students can then select from a range of courses in Years 11 to 12.
Jindabyne High School also aims to provide students with extra-curricular opportunities to develop their Creative Arts skills. In 2023 Jindabyne High School sucessfully presented JCS's production of Disney's High School Musical on Stage! In recognition of the community success of this production, Jindabyne High School proudly accepted the Special Achievement Arts and Culture Award at the Local Australia Day Citizenship Awards 2024.
