Class Music
As part of Haberfield Public School's holistic approach to every child's education all students receive ongoing and sequential Music Education lessons from Kindergarten to Year 6. New research shows how learning music can help your child in so many more ways including:
Improved reasoning capacity and problem solving skills
Improved maths and language performance
Greater memory capacity
Greater social and team skills
In class music at Haberfield PS students develop skills in singing, movement/dance, instrumental work and music composition. The Music Education program also links with drama and introduces senior students to the use of technology in music.
As part of the Music Education program at Haberfield Public School all students in Years 1 to 6 learn the recorder.
Due to health risks involved in sharing recorders we ask all students to have their own recorder. Quality Yamaha Recorders can be purchased from the school office for $9.00. Students can if they wish also purchase the recorder tutor for $15.00. The tutor has a CD, which students can practice with.

Visual Arts
Our specialist Visual Arts program is conducted weekly.
Children from Haberfield Public also contribute works toward Operation Art.
Operation Art provides opportunities for students to demonstrate their achievements in visual arts through a major exhibition which receives widespread publicity and recognition. The works submitted are designed to contribute to a visual environment that helps relieve anxiety for children during hospitalisation.
Virtually Archibald
Students in Stage 3 classes learn about portraiture by making portraits and by studying portraits created by professional artists and other students. They emulate the Archibald Prize by creating a portfolio of portraits. During Virtually Archibald, students show their learning through responding to artworks and making portraits. As well as responding to the work of other artists, students also reflect upon their own work and learning.
