-
Photography

Authentic experiences are a key aspect of the arts curriculum in all grades. Our arts teachers frequently bring in guest artists to share their experience with students and arrange meaningful opportunities for students to perform for audiences outside of the school community.
Abundant co-curricular options complement our arts curriculum. Every year, students can showcase their talent through participation in:
- a Grade 7 and 8 musical (junior musical)
- a Grade 9-12 play (senior play)
- a Grade 7-12 musical (full-school musical)
- an Arts Night
- Open mics
- Dance competitions
- Film screenings
-
-
Our arts spaces support students as they pursue their passions.
-
Guest artists help students to experience a variety of artistic forms.

"I challenged myself by auditioning for the Junior Play. I thought I wouldn’t be able to go in front of an audience and sing like that – not necessarily just singing, but performing. And I learned that I could.”

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
