Art Extension Classes at Torrens

In 2007, I was a bit surprised to find that more than eighty students asked to come to extension art classes! To allow as many children as possible a chance to attend I decided to make four groups of about twenty children. There was a junior group of mostly Year 1 and Year 2 students and then a middle and senior school group. Each group came to classes for one term. Extension art was held on Fridays from 2.00pm ‘til 3.00pm.
