The Wellington Arts High Project

Andrew from Pinehaven

New Zealand is the only western country not to offer specialist Arts schools for students who are naturally creative and talented.

These students are marginalised in schools whose primary focus is STEM and sport.

Many of these students suffer from depression and behavioural problems as a result. Specialist Arts Schools have very low to zero bullying and provide the type of learning environment that best supports creative young people.

We'd like to create a specialist Arts High School (think FAME) in the arts capital of New Zealand, Wellington!

The school would offer specialist training in Music, Drama, Dance, Visual and Digital/Media Arts.

We'd love your feedback during the planning process.

Here's the survey: www.surveymonkey.com...
