Arts Week by Anon

Arts Week is just around the corner! This is a biennial opportunity for the TBHS community to experience a variety of Arts activities.

During the week, the school undergoes a transformation through the vibrancy of visiting artists who provide work-shopping opportunities for the boys. Hundreds of students will participate in everything from Circus Skills, Sculpting, Hip Hop Dancing, Woodturning and numerous others. 

A variety of outside professionals are engaged - including TBHS Old Boys who return for the week to work alongside parents and staff who generously share their artistic skills with the students.

The Arts Department aims for a “no cost” or very low cost week for anyone who wants to give it a go. This is achieved through receiving a subsidy from the school and benefitting from a mufti-day, evening performances and generous sponsorship from The Timaru District Councils’ Youth Fund, Arts Community funding and private business sponsorship.
