Description

Silent Auction & Concessions
The School Council will be setting up concessions and a silent auction alongside multi-night events, the School Musical and the Visual Arts Showcase.  The events hope to attract approximately 300-400 people each night. Any money raised is used to support initiatives within the school such as supplementary supplies and equipment, educational trips, programs, and events. This year one of the goals of our school council's fundraising is to provide mental health awareness initiatives geared toward students, parents/caregivers, and teachers. We are also fundraising to support our newly formed robotics club to foster STEM initiatives at the school.

Musical 
Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts spring musical is an exciting annual event that brings together students, teachers, families and the community to showcase the talents and creativity of the school's performing arts department. It's a vibrant celebration of music, dance, and theater, where students have the opportunity to shine on stage and behind the scenes.

This year, we are proud to present "High School Musical," a beloved and energetic production that resonates with audiences of all ages. Set in the lively backdrop of East High School, the musical follows the story of Troy Bolton, a star athlete, and Gabriella Montez, a shy academic, as they unexpectedly audition for the school musical and discover their passion for performing. As they navigate the challenges of high school cliques and expectations, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, following their dreams, and being true to themselves.

 

Arts Showcase

Our Visual Arts Showcase celebrates creativity, reflects cultural values, and educates audiences, serving as a catalyst for inspiration and dialogue within communities. This year the grade 12's will be showcasing their work. It provides a platform for them to display their work so they can establish themselves in the art world while fostering connections between creators, enthusiasts, and the public. Ultimately, it serves as powerful medium for expression, communication, and the appreciation of human imagination and ingenuity.
