Our Fine Arts Program develops our students to glorify and worship God through their creative and innovative expressions in visual art, band, choir and musical theatre. Students are given many opportunities to explore music through choral and instrumental instruction, and can participate in concert band, concert choir, and jazz.
In addition to concerts in the community, there are major performances throughout the year.
With visual arts, students are taught by specialist teachers to develop and explore their creative expression in many different mediums, and are encouraged to share and display their artwork throughout the school.
Mission and Service Learning (MSL) focuses students on going into the entire world to make a real difference as Christ’s ambassadors.
By serving in areas of need, students develop a character of gratitude and appreciation, and encourage them to live their lives to serve others.
Recent MSL trips included trips to Guatemala, Indonesia, Japan and Sunshine Coast (2022-2023).
The Servant and Leadership Team (SALT) is a student-led team that organizes special events such as ‘Dressfest’ in October, Christmas Days in December and theme days for the student body throughout the year. SALT members also attend weekly meetings, participate in leadership training and operate the foyer Café. Students may apply to be a SALT member in the spring for the following year, and are selected via interviews.
