CO-CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES

Upper School Co-Curricular Arts (Grades 7 to 12) Co-curricular Arts programming at Havergal College provides opportunities to engage with music, drama, visual arts and dance. Dedicated practice facilitates discovery and development in the arts through curricular and co-curricular experiential opportunities.

Registration takes place online at the start of each school year. Arts programming runs for the entire year and includes multiple opportunities for performance.

Co-curricular arts activities foster lasting friendships and provide meaningfully structured time to learn about ourselves and others. Practising creativity, in all of its forms, is a basis for success for all pursuits later in life.
