The Festival of the Arts is our way of exposing students to the creative industries whilst building new skills in the visual and performing arts. Running annually, students in Years 1 and 2 take part in various workshops led mainly by external specialists. In recent years, the Festival has expanded to include 10 workshops (for example: Ceramics, Sculpture, Makerspace, Printmaking, Photography, Film, Band, African Drumming, Drama and Dance) for two days. It is an excellent opportunity for students to intensively develop new techniques, connect with other like-minded individuals, and forge new friendships. We advise students to opt for workshops which introduce them to new skills, thus providing a creative and enriching experience.
At the end of the second day, there is a showcase of each of the workshops alongside an exhibition of Festival art work.
