Arts education has always played a very important role in the lives of our pupils. For many years the Variety Club of Ireland has sponsored an annual Arts and Crafts Display and Competition and have assisted with funding for visits to a number of art galleries and exhibitions.

Every year the children present a concert involving music, dance and drama, to which parents, friends and pupils from nearby schools are invited. The highlight of these presentations was a concert in 1996 in the National Concert Hall, organised as part of the school's 150 year anniversary celebrations, and attended by a number of special guests, including the current Taoiseach, Mr Bertie Ahern.

Arts education, in all its forms - visual arts, music and drama - enables our deaf and hard of hearing children to use a range of communicative expression through which they can explore their experience of, and interaction with, the world.

The experience of art provides them with a source of enjoyment and fulfilment that can add enormously to the richness of their lives and experience.
