For centuries, Jesuit education has placed a particular focus on imagination and creativity. Exploration of The Arts is very much a part of the formation of our students.

Supported by strong instrumental music programs, the College has an extensive range of co-curricular music ensembles at both the Norwood and Athelstone campuses. Students have the opportunity to engage in choirs, concert bands, orchestras, guitar ensembles, and jazz and big band ensembles, as well as various other small ensembles.

The College supports an extensive theatre program including an annual Junior School musical, various biennial theatre performances, and a biennial Senior School musical.

The College has a strong tradition of involvement in both debating and public speaking programs and competitions. At the Senior School, Orator Eloquens (the eloquent speaker) is the society that encompasses both Debating and Public Speaking.

The Innovative Technology program allows students to explore various aspects of STEAM, including coding, robotics, photography, and digital media.

In addition to the above programs, the College participates in a range of cognitive arts including Chess, Future Problem Solving, Tournament of Minds, the Australian Brain Bee Challenge, and Philosothon.
