My favourite part of my experience at HSC, so far, has been the arts program. When I was in Junior School, I sang in the junior choir, the Treblemakers. This was my first musical experience at the school. It immediately became my favourite activity. I just loved the atmosphere and the music that we were singing. This inspired me to be very involved in the Middle School as a member of the choir and musical. By doing this, I learned confidence, patience and determination.

the arts program at HSC has really shaped me into the performer that I am today.

Hillfield Strathallan College supported and encouraged me to pursue my interests in the visual arts from a young age. My school has an incredibly well-developed arts program that has support and integration throughout all other academic areas.

Since my first year at Hillfield Strathallan College, art has always had a strong presence within my everyday life. I have been lucky to experience all different types of art, including musical arts, visual arts and literature.

With further education and experience, I gravitated more towards the visual arts, as I find that I feel most content while creating and designing. While on this artistic journey, Daniela DeJong – Senior Visual Arts Student

DIRECTOR of Arts We are thrilled at the opportunity to showcase our exceptional student talent in the visual and performing arts. It is our hope that, through the inaugural season of the Expressions Performing Arts Series, we will continue to expand the HSC Arts Program and fund enrichment opportunities that will enhance the student experience.

HILLFIELD STRATHALLAN COLLEGE 299 Fennell Avenue West, Hamilton, ON. L9C 1G3 If you wish to support the HSC Expressions Performing Arts Series, please contact:

This season features an incredible series of student performances in visual arts, theatrics and music. Expressions has grown from the pre-existing Crescendo Series and is organized by a dedicated committee of volunteers, who demonstrate our commitment to the arts and to the greater community by providing enrichment opportunities to our students. I do hope you take this opportunity to help us grow the HSC Arts Program.

Allan Gaumond

With funds raised through Expressions, we can offer students more opportunities for extension and professional engagement, including additional field trips and retreats — experiences that shape and evolve our students’ passion for the arts.
