Arts Learning Area


The arts play a crucial role in nurturing the holistic development of students, by enhancing not just their creativity but also their cognitive abilities. Arts education facilitates emotional expression, social awareness, critical thinking, and problem-solving. 

Students gain a deep cultural and historical understanding, which cultivates empathy and encourages a broad worldview. By exploring visual arts, drama, music, and dance, students also develop their imagination and unique methods of self-expression. 

The arts also improve academic performance by reinforcing skills applicable to other subjects like spatial reasoning, time management and team work. The arts subjects offered at St Mary’s play an integral role in a well-rounded education.
