Our dedicated staff work together to positively influence students' lives, our community, and future generations through artistic expression. We are committed to fostering creativity and providing a quality arts education.
VISION
Through IMPACT, Northern Bay College aims to inspire students to value the arts and actively engage in their education through creative inquiry and risk-taking. We champion the arts as an essential part of both academic and personal growth, embracing creative ideas together.
To foster a strong community, we will continue to develop the following values:
A passion for the arts, shared through collaboration and creative efforts.
Respect for diverse thoughts and perspectives.
Professionalism in students' actions.
A commitment to excellence in learning, teaching, research, and performance.
An immersive curriculum that equips students to create solutions for the world.
Ongoing evaluation and improvement of our curriculum.
The Arts is about Creativity and Expression
We will foster individuality by encouraging students to explore ideas and provide the skills to transform them into tangible experiences. Learning will be accessible, enjoyable, rewarding, thought-provoking, and meaningful.
We aim to inspire students to develop skills beyond the classroom, stimulate their creativity, and help them recognize that everyone has the potential to be creative. We see creativity as a vital link to literacy and other areas of the curriculum. We believe that all students can succeed, that learning is continuous, and that it plays a crucial role in social development and understanding.
We encourage students to explore new ideas, platforms of expression, and risk-taking, while promoting self-discovery and growth.
