The cultural programme at Maritzburg College is diverse enough to cater for every interest and aptitude. Cultural activities are a key component when it comes to the holistic development of young men. The skills learned during these pastimes will enrich every boy’s time in the classroom and serve him well into his professional and adult life.
A cultural education grows character, diversifies skills, stimulates curious minds, and serves as a creative outlet. At College, we encourage boys to explore these different focus areas, developing interests that have the potential to last a lifetime.
Whether a boy is creatively inclined or looking to pursue new interests, culture at College is a deeply rewarding part of the extra-curricular programme. The exciting range of clubs and societies encourage every boy to dance, sing, act, perform, debate, play music, write, create art, do good, use digital tools, produce, and grow spiritually. We are committed to nurturing a passion for culture. A range of events is scheduled throughout the year for boys to challenge themselves, learn, and grow their cultural talents.
From an active school band to the choir and individual instrument tuition, boys are given a myriad of opportunities to partake in music during their time at Maritzburg College. Instrument hire and professional tuition remove barriers to this highly popular activity at the school.
Visual Arts are an exciting chance for boys to explore their creativity through different media. Through Art, boys enjoy a fulfilling cultural activity and learn to think creatively. Visual Art forms the foundation of many popular careers – but enriches any CV for the skills it imparts.
Across the full spectrum of performing arts, boys are given the chance to dance, sing, act, direct, and produce. The College productions are full, professionally arranged occasions, giving boys on-the-ground experience across every element of a theatre production.
Our clubs and societies are a chance to complement what is learned in the classroom and explore different forms of creative expression. It is also a chance for boys to grow and apply their knowledge through healthy competition – or for them to enjoy as a casual, cultural hobby.
