(Art and Design, Drama, Music, Dance)

In the teaching of Art and Design, Drama, Music and Dance we seek to encourage and promote the creativity of each child. The school programmes expose the children to a wide variety of aesthetic experiences in these curricular areas. Skills and techniques in all areas are taught to help children to develop their own abilities and express their own personalities. The Expressive Arts are often complementary to other areas of the curriculum.

Mr Laing, our instrumental teacher, works with a small group of Primary 6 and 7 pupils, teaching them to play the cello. The children for this group are selected by simple testing to ascertain their suitability and aptitude for learning to play a string instrument. During the first term, children have the use of a school instrument, but in the final term, they will be encouraged to purchase their own instrument.
