WHY STUDY THE ARTS IN GRADE 9?
When considering the Arts at Bessette, we always encouraged grade nines to take an arts credit during their grade 9 year. Why is this important?
All music, drama, visual arts and dance courses are an excellent introduction to the secondary school arts curriculum and the extensive opportunities offered by the Arts Department. No experience is required for these introductory courses.
These courses offer the following:
- an opportunity to earn an arts credit in an inclusive and energetic environment
- an opportunity to build transferable skills by using the arts as a technique to improve team work, communication, critical thinking and problem solving skills
- a general introduction and foundation in principles of the Arts
- an opportunity to meet students from different areas of the Bessette community
- an active, challenging, kinaesthetic, experiential, hands-on learning experience
