Experiences in the arts - dance, dramatic arts, media arts, music, and the visual arts - play a valuable role in the education of all students. The arts nourish the imagination and develop a sense of beauty, while providing unique ways for students to gain insights into the world around them. The Arts communicate through complex symbols - verbal, visual, and aural - which help students understand aspects of life through a variety of perspectives. Courses in the arts prepare students for a wide range of challenging careers, in the arts and beyond. Arts courses help develop the student's ability to reason and to think critically and creatively. They will develop their communication and collaborative skills and the skills required in various technologies. The knowledge and skills developed through the study of the arts will be applicable to all other life endeavours.
