Dear Fine Art 8 & 9 Families,

On March 21, 2019 the Grade 8 and 9 Fine Arts students are going on a trip to Calgary!  We will tour the National Music Centre, have a fantastic dinner, and see “Come From Away” at the Jubilee Auditorium.

At the National Music Centre, we will experience engaging music demonstrations with highly trained educators, and guided exploration of five levels of interactive galleries of unique hands-on, ears-on, minds-on programming. More information on the National Music Centre can be found on their website: https://nmc.ca/

For dinner, we have reservations at Minas Brazilian Steakhouse.  Minas brings you traditional cuisine from the heart of Southeast Brazil, known as rodizio. Served tableside on skewers, we will be treated to a delicious selection of meats and vegetables which are complemented by a wide variety of delicious grain and vegetable dishes at the buffet.  More information about Minas can be found on their website: http://minassteakhouse.com/

After dinner, we have a unique opportunity to see the sold-out production of “Come From Away” at the Jubilee Auditorium.  The show is based on the true story of a plane that landed in Gander, Newfoundland during the 9/11 attacks. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. More information about the show can be found on their website: https://comefromaway.com/

Performing, viewing, and analyzing are part of all Fine Art curricula and we are proud to meet these educational objectives by offering this trip.  Aside from packing your own lunch and bringing optional spending money, there are no other associated costs.  This trip will be paid for using the St. Mary’s Fine Art Academy program fees and the help of the St. Mary’s Fine Arts Parent Council.  The Fine Art faculty, an administrator, and the CCT coach will travel with students and therefore, we do not need any other help with supervision.
