The syllabus is designed to enable students to gain increasing understanding and accomplishment in the four strands. It aims to develop a commitment to participate in, and develop a life-long appreciation of, the arts.
At St Gerard’s we have a specialist music teacher who teaches each class for one 
lesson per week. We have a strong band program for students in Years 3-6 including a junior and senior band. The school also has a choir.
The Creative Arts syllabus is divided into four strands:
- Visual Arts
- Music
- Dance
- Drama
