ART EXTENSION
Years 7–12
These classes will have a focus on experimentation and extension where longer time periods than regular classes and smaller
numbers will enable a focus on exploring and refining diverse art skills.
The areas explored in this class will vary from term to term.
• In Term 1 the focus will be on photography where students will explore film based photography with manual analogue
cameras and darkroom processing of photographs. Students will also explore digital photography and Photoshop
manipulation.
• In Term 2 the focus will be on painting and drawing. In this area students will explore various drawing media such as
charcoal, pencil and pastel whilst also developing skills in the use of oil and watercolour painting.
• In Term 3 the focus will be on media production where script writing, storyboarding and film production and editing will
be explored and/or Ceramics (numbers dependent)
• In Term 4 the focus will be on printmaking where advanced lino-printing using reduction techniques and screen printing
will enable extensions into mixed media and wrapping and card production.
In all units, there will be an exposure to the art of artists working in each of the fields being explored to ensure that language
use and art appreciation support skills development.

LAURISTON GIRLS’ SCHOOL CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES HANDBOOK | 15A school for life. Missed Lessons When one lesson is missed an email will be sent informing parents/guardians of the absence and reminding the student of the next lesson time. If a student is absent at an official School excursion/incursion, no charge will apply. However, students are encouraged to inform their instrumental teacher if they become aware of excursions or tests which may impact on their scheduled lessons. If a student is ill, the usual lesson charge will apply if 24 hours notice is not given. Long Term absences Written notification to the Music School is necessary to defer or suspend lesson/s in the case of long-term absences. Four week’s notice is required for planned absences (e.g. Holidays). Please contact the Music Office for unplanned absences (e.g. long-term illness or injury). Teachers are contracted for an entire year based on student enrolments and as such may not be able to make up lessons missed due to family holidays, illness or forgetfulness. Movement to and from Lessons Prep – Year 4 students are collected from and returned to their classroom by their instrumental teacher. Students from Years 5 onwards are expected to make their own way to their music lessons. It is the student’s responsibility to remember their lesson. Purchasing Instruments The Music Department is happy to give advice regarding the purchase of instruments and where the best prices are available. Second Instrument If your daughter wishes to learn more than one instrument, please consult with the relevant Head of Department for advice. Students are encouraged to focus on one instrument only before Year 3. Shared Lessons Shared lessons are available only when two students of similar standard and ability are enrolled. The Music Department may review this as appropriate. If one student discontinues then the remaining student will be required to move to individual lessons unless another student of an appropriate age and standard enrols. 16 | LAURISTON GIRLS’ SCHOOL CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES HANDBOOK
A school for life.
Timetabling
Music lessons are usually given during class time on a rotating cycle. Lessons outside class time follow these priorities:
1. VCE/IB students.
2. If a student learns two instruments, one of these is scheduled out of class time.
3. Lesson times at Blairholme are dependent on room availability.
4. Parent requests for out of school times are then filled when possible. Please note that our program is a day program and
staff are required to teach throughout the school day.
Theory/Music Craft Lessons
Theory & Music Craft lessons enhance students’ practical abilities, and are recommended for students studying AMEB Grade
4 and above. These lessons include music analysis, aural training and music literacy. Students wishing to study music in
VCE/IB are encouraged to take Theory lessons as pathway to success in these years. Please note Theory examinations are a
prerequisite for practical AMEB examinations at or above Grade 6 level.
Getting the most out of your lessons
Students are required to attend all the regularly scheduled lessons with their music, instrument, and other necessary
equipment. Regular practice is important in ensuring progress. Your daughter’s teacher will advise on the appropriate
frequency and duration of practice sessions. Families are encouraged to engage with their daughter’s music at home,
observing practice or asking them to perform a piece for you every few weeks. Music students should have a dedicated
practice space where possible, equipped with music stand and stationery as required.
Assessment
Music students receive semester reports alongside their academic subjects. In addition to this, there are a number of
assessment opportunities available to students throughout the year, including internal and external (AMEB and other external
providers). These will be arranged in consultation with the teacher and Head of Department.

Skipping is a fabulous sport that incorporates both freestyle (skills performed
to music) and speed elements (timed events where the skipper's steps are
counted). It is one of the best forms of improving fitness with 10 minutes of
non-stop skipping equated to a 20 minute jog as well as improves flexibility,
balance, coordination and builds muscle strength.
The Skipz program provides qualified and experienced coaches who work with
all Year and skill levels to provide a full cardio workout to their favourite music
tracks with a variety of tricks and challenges that engages all ages and genders.
This programme is running at Lauriston Girls' School
on Thursday mornings from 7.30am for students in years 3-6.
New Students welcomed. Please contact Isabelle
on 0403 221 141 for further information.

CODING
Years 3–6
After-school Code Camp allows students to hone their coding skills and keep practising through weekly sessions over the term.
Students will produce multiple games and apps using our exciting online platform Code Camp World.
We have made Code Camp World as accessible as possible so students can truly focus on the fun aspects of coding and carry
on their journey at home.
Each week students will choose the features they want to build, and advance their problem-solving skills to build these
features using code.
They will take ownership over their projects and collaborate with their peers to make awesome apps!
What your child will walk away with:
• Their very own app playable via the Code Camp App store on iOS, Android or any web browser
• Access to a range of video tutorials so they can continue coding at home
• Experience with drag and drop coding
If you have any questions re the program please contact Code Camp directly via www.codecamp.com.au
• Lauriston Girls’ School students only
• Laptops provided to all students during the sessions.
