School Reviews

The school offers many opportunities to explore your interest in art. You get to follow it for 3 years. Teachers are kind. Principal Nastasi was great she allowed us to walk into her office and chat. She worked hard to create a safe place for us to learn. We got a new principal, she was horrible, office felt like a museum and boring. Now we have a Principal Proudfoot. He opened the office again and welcomed students into the office to chat like Ms Nastasi. He loves the Arts.
