  Centring Student Interests

  The arts at BSS reflect students’ identities and interests. Students drive the creative process and experiment with new modes of expression. Opportunities to create and perform are meaningful and connected to the school and broader community. For example, at the Remembrance Day Chapel, Senior music and dance students bring history into a contemporary context through thoughtful performances expressing themes of loss, courage and resilience. And the long-standing tradition of Nativity links today’s students with generations of alumnae who have performed this classic pantomime for nearly a century.

  Excellence in Teaching

  Our teachers are not only skilled educators but also experienced artists in their own right. They intentionally design learning experiences that support student well-being in a multitude of ways, from the selection of materials to the way rehearsals are structured to ensure balance with other academic pursuits. Guest artists from diverse backgrounds further enrich learning by sharing their professional insights and inspiring our students. Our Director of the Arts is a school leader dedicated to the development of a comprehensive and integrated arts program across the whole school, from JK to Grade 12.
