It is apparent that the youth demographic aspires to engage in online media content. Teens want to make and publish funny and creative short film, edit and augment, do interviews, take and post photos, view podcasts, talk, write, read, like and comment on issues that affect their everyday lives. Students in Middle School who choose the Media Arts elective continue to develop the ability to work both independently, and to collaborate in creative teams to make and present screen-based media content. It is through teamwork, critical thinking and creative processes, that Media Arts students can develop a deeper understanding of how contemporary Media content can shape our views and opinions of the world around us.
The focus of the Media Arts course of study is to have fun learning the technical skills and vocabulary that enable the use of a range of technologies in a variety of media forms (safely and respectfully) so that we can make and present media content for an online viewing audience to enjoy. In class, the intention is for students to create an internal blog (Microsoft SharePoint) in which we can share the media content that is created. Students learn how to develop a blog with a newsfeed that updates when they post their videos or images and which also allows them to comment and like. This method of online learning aims to mirror the real-world social media and media platforms they already use, except within an environment that is kept internal within the school. Students learn the language for the screen, including, online codes of practice, safety, respect for self and others while online. Ethical conduct and moderated content is best practice.
The Media Arts Elective in Middle School aims to enhance teaching and learning opportunities and provide an additional opportunity to engage students in creative learning practices that are fun and relevant to both the real and virtual lives that students live. The Media Arts could also create diverse pathways to further education, training and career opportunities. Pathway opportunities exist in, Studio Art, Visual Communication, or Media Studies. Furthermore, the Media Arts pathway opportunities exist at: The Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE), TAFE, or University.

Visual Art 3
Visual Art Elective 3 is designed to engage students in art making activities that expand their curiosity, imagination, creativity, and enjoyment of the Visual Arts.
The aim is to provide an opportunity for students to explore new and original content not covered in the Visual Art electives 1 or 2. The intention is for students to experience a variety of topics and artforms; photography, drawing, painting, printing, digital media, collage, ceramics, sculpture, jewellery. Students are encouraged to create their own art projects and develop individual learning plans that enable the pursuit of personal interests in a fun and creative learning environment.

Furthermore, students are invited to attend local excursions at the Hamilton Gallery and the MUD Gallery. Students also virtually travel to art exhibitions at galleries and museums in; New York, Spain, Abu Dhabi and Venice.
The focus of the visual art elective is on developing a deeper understanding of the unique qualities and characteristics of materials relevant to specific artforms so that students can develop the art making skills and vocabulary, which enables students to describe and discuss the art making processes. Students learn how to; research so that we can find inspiration and generate personalised ideas based on a core theme or topic, plan, design and practice, explore subject matter possibilities, tools, equipment, and technologies so that we can create, make and present artworks in exhibitions for others to enjoy. Ultimately, students learn how to express personalised ideas, views and opinions and to raise awareness of the pathways and opportunities available in the visual arts.
