The Creative Arts Faculty at Albury High aims to provide students with engaging and enriching opportunities. Through the Creative and Performing Arts, students are able to discover a variety of art forms. Students explore, experiment and refine new and existing skills through a study of Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts.
