Art & Design
The Art & Design course lends itself to a wide range of SMCS studies. It allows students to become enquiring of the world around them and it encourages them to communicate their ideas effectively. Students will analyse, engage with, and question their own and others’ values and beliefs. Students discover identity and empathy and learn how to celebrate human diversity and individuality.
