PERFORMING ARTS AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES


Every effort is made by the school to encourage all the performing arts and to provide opportunities for the learners to participate in public performances. This is an exciting area of school life and the development of the talents of the learners remains a high priority in the school's planning.


Cultural exchanges with other countries are a valuable way of appreciating our heritage and of preparing our learners for the future.
