Art Academy Yr 6

Our Art Academy is for year 6 students who are passionate about doing visual arts.

In 2025 a selected group of students are participating in 8 full-day workshops throughout the year, with professional designer Maly Scruggs.

Maly has devised a program that develops practical skills and inspires students to explore their love of art in a focussed environment.

Activities include making paper, creating books, designing and making room-boxes, and designing logos.

Performing Arts

Students at Torquay College enjoy a well-resourced and established Music department, with dedicated teachers who collaborate on all aspects of the program. From Foundation level, students play instruments including kazoo, ukulele and percussion, explore musical concepts through dance and movement, and sing a variety of songs suitable for young voices. The main aim is fun and development of a love of music, as well as a sense of pitch and beat.
The music program builds through each year of primary school, with all students learning to play tunes on harmonica and ukulele, as their skills progress. Students are encouraged to express themselves through song-writing, through exploring the sounds of different instruments, and by using technology to create and record music in the later years.

From year 3 on, students are invited to audition for the band program, which runs as an extra-curricular program during lunchtimes. Our bands perform at community events, assemblies and at the annual Geelong Schools Music and Movement Festival.

 

Torquay College also runs a Circus Troupe and Drama Club, as additional Performing Arts opportunities. These are also run as part of the lunchtime clubs program.

Visual Arts

Torquay College’s Art Program is highly regarded by the students and wider community. The students are exposed to a variety of mediums, equipment, techniques and work in both 2D and 3D mediums.

Contemporary and traditional art work is regularly used as a stimulus for students’ work. Large collaborative work is often undertaken and students have the opportunity to display their work in exhibitions at school and professional settings including our Creations Fair at the end of the year .

Torquay College also offer's an Art Academy program to our Yr 6 students who show special interest and talent in art. This program begins at the end of Term 1 and runs throughout the year.

Torquay College acknowledges the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, learn and play and recognise the resilience, strength and pride of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We acknowledge the connection to land, waters and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging throughout Australia.
