At Spearwood Primary School we recognise that The Arts engages, inspires and excites the imagination and which encourages students to reach their creative and expressive potential.

Dance, Drama, Media Arts, Music and Visual Arts provide opportunities for students to learn how to create, design, represent, communicate and share their imagined and conceptual ideas, emotions, observations and experiences, as they discover and interpret the world.

Spearwood Primary School runs a specialist’s Arts: Music program.  Spearwood has two Arts dedicated rooms: Music and Visual Arts.

Visual Arts

Pre-Primary to Year Six students have the performance Arts learning area subject of Visual Arts under the guidance of their classroom teacher. Lessons are taught in the classroom, wet areas or in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) room. This modern well-equipped facility includes a professional kiln for clay and is located adjoining the new undercover area.

Music

In Semester Two 2026, Spearwood Primary students from Pre-Primary to Year Six study Music under the guidance of a highly talented Specialist teacher. These lessons are held in the well-resourced Music Room adjoining the new undercover area.

Instrumental Music School Services (IMSS)

Five students in Year 5 and another five in Year 6, learn guitar under the tutorage of an Instrumental Music School Services teacher on-site at Spearwood Primary School.  Spearwood is one of the few local schools with an on-site IMSS Program.  The students are selected in Year 4 through a Music aptitude test and then offered a place in the Instrumental program.

The acceptance of a place in the program has the expectation that students will be committed to learning the instrument and practising daily at home or in their own time.  Learning an instrument though the IMSS program opens opportunities for enrolment into Music Specialist courses in Government High Schools.
