• to incorporate the following: historical, contemporary, social, cultural and issues-based contexts, techniques and aesthetics to inspire our students and for these to evolve in response to the needs of the students’ projects.
• to allow our students to confidently develop ideas, themes, subjects and understand how feelings can inspire creative responses.
• to enable our students will understand how visual language can communicate personal ideas, meanings, and responses. 
• to support our students to critically reflect upon their creative journey encouraging them to have independent views and opinions, over time.
