Arts and Culture

At Aquinas  College our aim is to be the best we can be in every aspect of school life.  We offer diverse opportunities for students to be involved in Arts and Culture both in and out of the classroom,  to nurture and develop their talents as musicians, singers and actors.

The arts and cultural pursuits are an integral part of Aquinas College. Talent and potential lie within each of us, and we are committed to discovering and nurturing these gifts through the arts and in cultural pursuits. Through such opportunities, students  develop skills of creativity, collaboration and critical thinking while learning about themselves and their identity.

 We boast a broad range of opportunities for students to explore in the visual arts, performing arts and in cultural pursuits. Students are given the platform to participate, create and perform in local, regional and national competitions. Traditionally, the College has staged biennial large-scale productions, enabling students to practice, hone and exhibit their performance skills in front of a public audience.
