Clayfield Arts Day brought Years 6 to 12 students together for House performances, hands-on workshops and a day of activities shaped by the theme Be Strong, Strive for the Stars.
Arts Day was held on Wednesday, 17 June, the final Wednesday of Term 2, after Houses spent the lead-up choosing songs and dances for the event.
The day gave students a program built around performance, practical activities and House involvement. Each House prepared a song and dance, with students taking part in workshops and performances as part of the competition for the Arts Day Cup.
The theme, Be Strong, Strive for the Stars, shaped a program that combined rehearsed House items with a broader set of creative activities across the day.
House Competitions Take The Stage
The House Choral Competition formed a key part of the program, with Campbell House recognised for its performance of Man in the Mirror.
The House Dance Competition also brought Houses to the stage, with Youngman House recognised for a creative and high-energy dance.
The choral and dance competitions gave students a shared focus for the day, with each House contributing performances prepared ahead of the event. The format placed singing, movement and House participation at the centre of the program.
Workshops Broaden The Clayfield Program
Students also joined hands-on workshops throughout Arts Day, adding activities beyond the House competitions.
The workshop program included stage combat, musical theatre, robotics, visual arts, Zumba and fondant cake decorating. The mix gave students opportunities to take part in theatre, movement, technology, visual work and practical creative activities.
The range of workshops helped shape Arts Day as more than a performance program, with students able to try different activities while taking part in the end-of-term event.
Semester Ends With Arts Focus
Arts Day closed Semester 1 with a program centred on participation, confidence and connection through the arts.
For Clayfield students in Years 6 to 12, the event brought together competition, workshops and House performances in one end-of-term program. Campbell House and Youngman House were among the Houses recognised for their choral and dance contributions, while the wider day gave students several ways to take part.
