"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."
- Thomas Merton
At St. Patrick CSS, we are blessed to be part of a community where the Arts are an integral part of who we are. We celebrate the artistic expressions of our students in our music concerts, choir, musicals, plays, dance & dramatic performances, visual & media art showcases, talent shows, multi-cultural nights, liturgies, and in our classrooms.
Through the Arts, students engage in authentic creative and critical thinking. In our Dance, Dramatic Arts, Music & Visual Arts Programs, importance is placed on exploring ideas, taking creative risks, learning through process, and sharing creative journeys. These programs provide a supportive learning environment allowing students to build technical skills, experience joy and laughter, develop self-expression, and feel a strong sense of connectedness within the community.
