Fairbairn College’s Cultural Department has a simple aim:
to create a platform for self-expression.
Learners who form part of any society or sphere within this department are continuously challenged to grow through weekly training, as well as in preparation for performances.
Learners gain excellent communication skills (including verbal, physical and written communication); an understanding of human behaviour within various contexts, cultural and societal perspectives.
Performances and competitions develop confidence and public speaking skills; creative thinking and problem-solving techniques; initiative and improvisation; and professionalism, dedication, time-management and the importance of meeting deadlines. These abilities are all integral, and sought after, in their future careers, which justifies our continuous intake of new learners within the various societies.
Learners are trained, guided and exposed to different situations, but ultimately the production of any performance relies on their ingenuity and dedication.
At Fairbairn College, we believe in the holistic development of the learner and therefore strive to provide an environment and platform which allows the individual to forge their talents, personality, perspective and passion.
