Visual and Performing Arts
Arts education, broadly categorized as visual and performing arts includes music, dance, theatre and the myriad forms of creative art, plays a pivotal role in the all-round development of the student. The development of creative ability enhances the neural systems that benefit motor skills, originality and emotional balance.
The Arts teachers mentor the students enabling them to progress in artistic techniques and aesthetic sensibility.
Due importance is given to this discipline as the thinking skills it involves such as experimentation, exploration and imagination becomes the foundation for higher level thinking skills such as synthesis, inquiry and research.
Physical Education
