VCE Art Students Inspired at SAM

Our VCE Art Making and Exhibiting students recently enjoyed an inspiring visit to Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) to experience the remarkable exhibition "Facing Modernity: Degas to Picasso".

The excursion gave students the opportunity to view original artworks by some of the world's most celebrated artists, including Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso.

Seeing these works in person allowed students to appreciate the scale, techniques and rich history behind each artwork in a way that simply can't be experienced through textbooks or online images.

As part of their VCE studies, students explored how exhibitions are carefully designed and curated, examining the layout of the gallery, interpretive information, lighting and conservation methods used to protect these significant works.

They also gathered ideas and inspiration to support their own creative practice and Visual Arts Journals.

Notre Dame College values opportunities for students to engage with world-class exhibitions and connect their classroom learning with authentic experiences.

We thank the team at Shepparton Art Museum for providing such an enriching and memorable visit that will continue to inspire our young artists throughout their studies.

2027 Student Leaders Information Session

On Tuesday, 3 August, aspiring College, House, and Specialist Leaders in Year 11 attended the Student Leaders Information Session.

Some of our current House and College Captains were called up to speak about their experiences this year, sharing their favourite memories, challenges, and some advice for the students.

We also welcomed special guest speaker Darta Hovey, the Deputy Director of Mission and Educational Development at Catholic Education Sandhurst, who spoke about what leadership means to him and how the students can reach their fullest potential as leaders.

The session proved to be valuable for the students to see what is expected of them as leaders and gain more insight of what the positions entail.
