The Arts

At the heart of a Hilton Primary’s education is a commitment to Visual and Performing Arts that allows space and time for students to experience the full range of the Arts. Through Music and Art, the children discover their talents. They can play a musical instrument, sing, dance and develop their skills in arts and crafts.

Music plays a major role in the life of the school. The children work both collaboratively and independently to learn a variety of music skills using instruments, voice and movement. Students have access to an interactive whiteboard, where they can explore musical elements such as pitch, dynamics and duration, as well as apply their knowledge to create class, group and individual compositions

Teamwork, is an essential component of each lesson with a focus on cooperative learning in all music classes and choir rehearsals. The choir learn to sing and dance as a team, students in all year groups learn the skill of cooperation as they perform as an ensemble and the whole school gets together at the conclusion of every assembly to sing and dance a song they have all learned during music lessons.

There is a school choir is comprised of students from years 2 – 7. The School Choir seek excellence, entertainment and enjoyment, by preparing items for events such as local singing festivals and the state-wide Western Australian Government Schools Music Society Concert Series at Burswood Theatre.

Selected students from Year 6 and 7 can attend instrumental music lessons at South Fremantle High School, as well as join the Junior Band.

With the new facilities in the new building, the Arts programs at Hilton Primary are thriving, and will continue into the future.
