WAVE 2023: The Gatekeeper
Our High School students and staff have returned to regular classes this week, still buzzing after four sold-out performances of WAVE 2023: The Gatekeeper, which wowed more than 1000 members of the community.
WAVE (Wearable Arts Vision in Education) is a major annual event in the School’s calendar, showcasing wearable artworks entered by designers and students from around Australia, in a student-led production that encompasses design, music, dance, drama and technology. 2023 marked the 23rd year of WAVE at Shearwater.
Head of School James Goodlet said it was privilege being a part of this year’s production. “WAVE is without a doubt the best project-based learning experience I have witnessed in my 35 years as an educator. Seeing high school students so fully engaged in an artistic project is a great joy.”
