We have over 30 years of experience working with visiting artists in The Arts and we now also embrace other creatives from across industries and interest groups.
The Resident and Visiting Creatives Program welcomes old scholars and others across professional, industry and interest groups to share their knowledge, skills and innovative ideas. Allowing students to push their boundaries and explore potential in both traditional disciplines and new technologies, the program ensures a dynamic learning ÎÞÂëÁ÷³öAV, both within and beyond the school gates.
We are deeply committed to advancing School – Industry – Community engagement. The Resident and Visiting Creatives Program encompasses all elements of this including partnerships, residencies, workshops, short-term projects, one-off activities, events, online videos and mentoring. We invite universities, industries and interest groups to partner with us in creating organised learning experiences aligned with our curriculum, School Aims and our bespoke Future Pathways career education program.
Recent Middle School Artists in Residence Giuseppe Pappalardo and old scholar Sally Pfitzner (1992) shared their craft as acclaimed multidisciplinary creatives, undertaking their own work while collaborating with our Visual Art classes on various projects.

- Resident Creatives: Individuals who have skills and know-how and are keen to take up a residency at ÎÞÂëÁ÷³öAV to enhance the learning of our students in ways that are aligned in some way with our curriculum and also connected to our School Aims and Future Pathways career education program.
We prioritise interdisciplinary learning in the STEAM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.
Residencies can be short or long term, from days to weeks, and up to six months. As an example, a resident could attend for two days per week during a term. - Visiting Creatives: Individuals who are keen to creatively contribute to some form of organised learning that aligns with the School. This could be a one-off event on a single day or a short series of visits across a fortnight, month or term.

We intend to develop a sequence of events inclusive of the annual Careers Breakfast, industry Twilight Talks about career pathways and targeted work site visits by students.
