Culture

“Every STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) needs a FLOWER!”

By this we mean that Arts and Culture are very high on our priority list. The relationship between academia and the arts offers our children the unique opportunity to develop in a balanced way.

Whether it is choral performances, concerts, revues, visual art exhibitions, or musical performances of high quality, this diverse talent remains the showcase of our school.

Please note that any changes that may occur in the program will be put on the D6 Connect.

Art

Art Classes are incorporated into our daily timetable. The art room is a space that encourages self-expression, creativity, risk-taking and visual learning.

Learners experience different mediums such as inks, painting, pastels, cutting and building. KPS will be integrating the arts with other subjects such as art and science or art and technology, this encourages learner engagement and boosts critical thinking.

We are also excited to prepare learners for more art exhibitions and events in the future.
