The Aesthetics department is committed to increase opportunities for all students to participate in and recognize the value of the Arts in society. The department strives to expose all pupils to appreciating and expressing Art through a variety of platforms. Our aim is for them to become life-long learners who are confident and creative with a passion for life and learning.
Through the Arts, pupils are more aware of the values and roles of the Arts in society, thus connecting them to our history, culture and heritage. Pupils also learn to respect the culture, belief systems and values of others and to appreciate the deeper forms of beauty in life.
