The Baxter High School Ambassadors Club

Theatre has long been a tool for social change, cohesion, and commentary. The Baxter High School Ambassadors Club is a year-long programme aimed at strengthening the relationship between learners and the arts. The programme exposes the learners to the different facets of theatre making, inspiring them to create a theatre-going culture in their schools. They will also serve as liaisons between their school and The Baxter. The programme is independent from the school's curriculum requirements.
