Creativity Thrives In Ingham State High School’s Arts Programs

September 18, 2025

Students at Ingham State High School are thriving through a comprehensive arts program that brings together drama, visual art, and instrumental music. Guided by highly experienced teachers, students are encouraged to explore their creativity, develop technical skills, and express themselves through a range of artistic disciplines.

The program also offers unique opportunities for students to connect with key professionals in the arts industry, providing real-world insights and inspiration. Whether performing on stage, showcasing artwork, or playing as part of an ensemble, students are gaining experiences that build confidence and open pathways for future study and careers.

At the end of Term 2, a group of our String and Multi Instrumental students from both Ingham SS and Ingham SHS had the opportunity to attend one of two workshops in Townsville, which were led by experienced band clinicians from both Townsville and Brisbane. Our students participated alongside other instrumental students from the Townsville region. All students worked extremely hard during the workshops, and it was wonderful to hear an improvement in the students' playing throughout the day.

Ingham SHS would like to acknowledge both North Queensland Instrumental Music and the Ingham Community RREAP for providing funding to cover the bus travel to and from Townsville each day.

Contributed with thanks by ISHS IM teachers Carolyn Gunston (Multi) and Yvonne Moore (Strings)
