**The Arts **

**In The Arts students at Forrest Hill School will have opportunities to develop: **
 * Forms of expression through movement, sound and imagery that communicate personal interpretations, experiences, and creativity.

**Planning and Organisation ** When planning The Arts, teachers need to be aware that each of the four disciplines are structured around four interrelated strands – Understanding the Arts in Context, Developing Practical Knowledge in the arts, Developing Ideas in the arts, and Communicating and Interpreting in the arts. Learning experiences are to be planned using objectives from these four strands.
