Co-Curricular The Arts
The Arts faculty at the College is immensely proud of the diverse range of co-curricular opportunities available to all students. Students can choose to be involved in activities ranging from Choirs to Bands, Dance Troupes, Youth Theatre, Musicals and Creative Crew. All of our programmes allow students an outlet for artistic expression, whilst fostering creativity, well-being and teamwork.
