SHSM - Arts

At Silverthorn SHSM we give students opportunities to participate and have hands on experiences in various cultural experiences.

 These educative experiences and life enhancing skills were available to SHSM students and were also shared with the rest of the school community. SHSM students, specifically, gained skills and acquired knowledge which ultimately serves in aiding them in making future career choices. We also offer awards and recognition to our SHSM students.

Thanks to our exceptional SHSM students, we are reminded that art, in all its forms, is a means of cultural expression, transmission and enlightenment, and that it is an integral tool for enhancing and accompanying all of us in our own individual and collective growth and development.
