Special performing arts events to which the whole school and the public are cordially invited are held every term. Changing displays of student artwork are showcased throughout the School, particularly in the Gallery and the Academic Centre. The arts programme operates three afternoons a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with rowing scheduled alongside arts programmes to avoid conflicts with field and gym sports. I register in at least one Arts course each year, and in either a second Arts course, and at times, a third, or in rowing, selecting from the range of programmes listed below. Although Grade 12 students typically register in two programmes, the extent of a Grade 12 student's school commitment, as a whole, is carefully weighed in determining an individual fine arts programme at the senior level.
All courses run for one full year and most are open to all grade levels.
In addition to the presentation of individual subject prizes for outstanding achievement, the School recognizes excellence in the Fine Arts in terms of performance, attitude, and commitment through the awarding of Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Fine Arts Colours. In some courses, exceptional service is also acknowledged by special Service Awards. The Internal Awards Ceremony takes place in June.
