Last Day BBQ

20 November was the last day for GATE Visual Art Workshops in 2010.


At break time students participated in a tshirt colour wheel.



Then watched the pinata workshop smash into their lolly filled creations.

Once again the wearable art students have created and performed in some amazing costumes. Above are a few examples, including Amanda's winning design.
Thanks to David Collins for the photography.

Another Great Year

Self portralit as the artist's muse, by Stephanie M

There’s only one week to go to the end of the GATE Visual Arts workshops for 2010!


We’ve had a truly wonderful year with continued successes in the events, festivals and competitions that we have entered. More importantly I’ve seen the development of excellent art skills occurring in every student and this is the real secret to the program’s success. Having the ability to turn art ideas into great artworks is the aim of program. I’m happy to say that each GATE student has a range of skills and processes that they can confidently use.


Year 7 students will be back on Wednesday 24 November for their orientation day. For more information please contact either your primary school or Mr Guthrie on 9293 6435.


Year 10 GATE students are invited to a graduation ceremony for all the special Kalamunda SHS programs on 30 November 2010 at 5pm. The event will be at school but exactly where will be decided closer to the day (hopefully we will use the new canteen area!)


The GATE booklet for 2011 will be posted home either late this year or early next year. Our first workshop for 2011 will be Saturday 13 February.
