Your guide to extra–curricular
arts involvement.
We all love it when the Arts help us to
understand who we are as individuals, who
are within our culture and who we are in our
understanding of God.
There are five Arts at Mueller: Drama, Dance,
Music, Media Arts and Visual Arts. These
five forms are extended by extra-curricular
opportunities such as Musical Theatre, Dance
Crew, Instrumental music, drawing classes,
acting classes and singing lessons.
Our overall vision for students in the Arts is
summarised in three words:
EXCITE: The arts are fun to do.
EXPLORE: The Arts are a safe way for students
to experiment with ideas that are personally
important. It’s okay to make mistakes!
EXCEL: There must always be support for the
good student to be better and the exceptional
student to continue to grow.
Mueller Arts provides a P-12 approach to Arts
practice. As you will find in these pages, there
is an individual Arts journey possible for every
child.
Keep an eye on “Mueller Connect” as it is
our intention to keep adding classes and
opportunities.
For more information look on Mueller Connect/
Parent Portal, or contact the Arts Office on
artsoffice@mueller.qld.edu.au
or ring 3897 2859.
