The Arts Co Program is off to a great start for 2025. Our students have showcased their creativity and talents in many events this term, including the Opening College Mass, National Apology Day, and Ash Wednesday. Participation in the Arts Co groups is a fantastic way for Carmel College students to feel a sense of belonging, develop friendships, engage in teamwork, and have fun. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce our Arts Co Staff team. You may have already received a welcome email from some of them already.

What we offer – With most groups/ensembles coming at NO cost to our families

All Private Instrumental, Vocal, Dance, and Visual Art lessons are underway, and we are already seeing some real success stories. This year, we have the most Arts opportunities for Carmel College students that we have ever had, and our numbers are very high in all programs we offer. The Art staff are very excited for what 2025 holds for the Arts. If your student is enrolled in the Arts extra-curricular program, you will receive emails from their teacher regarding times and days of lessons and all other communication regularly. Please keep an eye on your emails for this. Please refer to the Arts Co weekly timetable below for more information.
