Programme Content and Approach
3. The Maris Arts Explorer programme is a four year programme2
which comprises of two components: practice and appreciation. Given theprogammemain aim is to broaden Marists exposure to the Arts. A paletteof Arts modules delivered through mainly workshops of approximately 12hours would be offered to our Marists. These workshops can beconducted by our identified talented students, internal & externalinstructors.
