Visual arts is an option subject which aims to extend students technical and formal art making skills as well as their understanding of a range of established art practices and contexts. Activities are designed to give students experiences in drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. As students improve their skills and knowledge they are encouraged to find their own expression and solutions to art making problems. Photography, based on learning black and white photographic processes and procedures, is offered as a separate course at year twelve with the option to continue into year thirteen with digital photography.

Music

Learning in Music significantly enhances students' opportunities to contribute culturally to the school and community by communicating and expressing themselves both in an integrated way and as a separate valid artistic discipline. By applying the four strands (i.e. learning the languages of music, developing ideas in music, communicating and interpreting meaning in music and understanding music in context) foundations are laid at the Year 9 level allowing students the opportunities to progress through to Year 13. Courses offered are NCEA Levels 1 and 2 and 3. A full music itinerant programme is also offered to students.
