Our Stage 5 and Year 11 Visual Arts students braved the Bondi heat to immerse themselves in the world of contemporary sculpture at Sculpture by the Sea! From monumental site-specific installations to coastal masterpieces, they absorbed every ounce of artistic inspiration (and sunshine 😅). Even under the scorching sun, creativity flourished — proving that nothing can deter our young artists when imagination, curiosity and a good layer of sunscreen are involved! ☀️🎨
