The curriculum is symbolised by the college crest of a shield divided by a cross (ethos) and four equal parts of: a book (academics), a ball (sports, a palette (visual arts) and a harp (music). Each aspect of the crest is considered equally as important to one other.

The Junior School has its own choir and orchestra that regularly perform.
Art and Craft
