Students experience all areas of curriculum
Being taught by a specialist teacher from an early age has tangible benefits for students. This according to ACG Strathallan Dean of Year 7 and 8, Clinton Thomas, an educator with 15 years’ experience teaching and five years as a dean at the independent school in Karaka.
From the age of five, students at ACG Strathallan leave their main classroom to receive specialist subject teaching in Science, PE & Health, Mandarin, Music and Visual Art.
“Students need to be given opportunities to experience all areas of the curriculum such as arts, sports, sciences and main subjects such English and Maths so they can then make smart and informative choices around hobbies and careers,” he says.
Visit us at our open day between 9am - 11am on Tuesday, 25 June.
Kids Pottery workshops with artist Madison Cowper
Swap the usual routine for something a little more colourful. Join us at Franklin Arts Centre for a fun morning of creativity. Come, meet new friends and make and paint your very own pottery!
Suitable for ages 4 and up. No experience needed, just bring yourself and your imagination. Wear something you don't mind getting dirty. We’ll provide all the materials, easy guidance, and an open-hearted, supportive teaching environment to encourage you to make whatever you like! Participants will be shown how to make a mug, a bowl, a planter or a pet, but they are more than welcome to bring their own ideas.
🖌 What’s Included:
🌸 Clay and professional guidance
🎨 A wide range of tools, paints and brushes
🎶 A fun, supportive atmosphere with music and good vibes
You can take your unfired piece home, or leave it with us to be professionally fired and glazed for an additional $20. The additional fee can be paid with cash in person. The finished piece can be collected from FAC 2 months after the event.
