Hi. My name is Susie. I'm from Australia. I'm in grade 7. My school teaches arts and music to all the students. Some forms of art such as painting, or drama are optional: you can choose to learn them if you like. Music and dancing are compulsory: all of us must study them every week. The school even has a choir, and they perform every month. There are also different art clubs, and you can join any of them.
