Igniting Creative Passions

Ridley College’s arts programme is designed to inspire students to develop their inner muse by exploring their creativity and skills in drama and music, as well as the visual, digital, and spoken arts.

All students have the option to work in the studios, perform with an ensemble, act on a stage and explore their creative talents once the academic day is done.
