Kaiapoi High School
Year 9 Art (Visual)
Course Description
Head of Faculty/Teacher in Charge: Mr B. Morrison.
Art is a subject where you can be creative and go into the world of your imagination.
What Year 9 Visual Arts students say...
"It is a subject where you would really like to come to after a hard day of school. It isn't that hard to do the art techniques, you just have to believe in yourself and you'll complete it."
"It is a chilled, relaxed subject that I always look forward to."
"I've really enjoyed it and even if you're not as good as others, it's still a lot of fun because in at least one of the things you do, someone else won't know how to do it either, so you can learn together! My favourite part was the woodcuts! "
"I wish I was able to do art for the whole year. The teacher is really supportive and gives you lots of feedback."

Disclaimer
Please note that courses will go ahead only if student numbers, staffing, and timetabling allow it. Where a subject is oversubscribed, and there are insufficient numbers or resources to create an extra class, a ballot system may be applied.
Costs
The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2025, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
