Nexus Arts Festival


  • Corpus Christi College 50 Murdoch Drive Bateman, WA, 6150 Australia (map)

Corpus Christi College proudly presents Nexus Arts Festival, celebrating creativity, expression and community. A display of art through vibrant exhibitions, music and dance where connection and creativity shine. The Nexus Arts Festival runs from Wednesday 9 September - Tuesday 15 September with a variety of Arts offerings.

The word “nexus” refers to a central point of connection where ideas, people and experiences come together. At Corpus Christi College, Nexus represents the meeting place of creativity, collaboration and community. It is where the arts unite us, forming meaningful connections across year levels and disciplines.

The Nexus Arts Festival is our annual celebration of the arts, showcasing the diverse talents of students. Through visual art exhibitions, musical recitals and dance performances, students are encouraged to express themselves, share their gifts and contribute to the vibrant life of our College.

More than a festival, Nexus reflects our commitment to holistic education and the belief that every student has a unique voice worth sharing in whatever form that is. It is a time to honour imagination, foster belonging and ignite the spark of creativity that lives within each learner, guided by our core values of Courage, Commitment and Compassion.
