Creative arts camp

Students from three local primary schools attended a Creative Arts Camp at Myuna Bay recently.

Six students from Pretty Beach, Woy Woy and Woy Woy South public schools attended the five-day camp at Myuna Bay Sport and Recreation Camp from August 18 to 22.

Camp coordinator Ms Lyn Cook said the camp was attended by almost 200 primary school students around the Central Coast and Hunter region.

"Students from Year 4 to 6 took part in music, visual arts, dance and drama workshops," Ms Cook said.

"The camp gave students the opportunity to learn from each other and make the most of concentrated learning opportunities in their specialism that would not necessarily be available to them in their own schools.

"Each day of the camp finished with sport and recreation activities for the students to enjoy.

"Parents were also invited to attend the final day's concert and art exhibition which allowed them to see what their children had learnt and created during the week."

Ms Cook said the camp's theme, "One and All", gave a framework for the appreciation of solo, group and multicultural arts.
