Arts is a valued part of a student’s curriculum at Beeliar Primary School.
Visual Arts has been taught at Beeliar Primary School in a beautifully equipped art room since the school’s foundation. The Arts have the capacity to engage, inspire and enrich all students, exciting the imagination and encouraging them to reach their creative and expressive potential. The term ‘creativity’ plays a critical role in all arts.
Our school provides a comprehensive Visual Arts programme from based on the West Australian Curriculum. In 2026, students from Pre-primary to Year 2 will participate in Visual Arts weekly. Students are immersed in and investigate a broad range of genre to learn the visual elements of art- colour, shape, line, texture Students explore, experience and learn about materials, including clay, textiles, print making, sculpture, collage, drawing and painting materials to enhance their Art Making skills.

Presenting art works is also an integral part of arts education. Selected students works are displayed in the front office, during special occasions such as Graduation and Anzac commemorations.
