Culture
Culture plays a vital part of the Diocesan College's mission to provide a well-rounded education, with a great emphasis placed on developing music and the arts both as part of the curriculum and through extramural activities.
Bishops also holds the Bishops Classic Pops every three years in the Cape Town City Hall. The school has two very fine organs (and a smaller chamber organ) in its chapels. In addition, the Music Department has launched three new CDs: Choral Vespers (a recording of the evening service), Tour to Russia (a compilation of repertoire taken to Russia by the Choir and Brass Band in April 2006) and Composers of Bishops (a compilation of compositions by Bishops boys over the past four years).

“The time will come when the evil forms we have known can no more be organized. Man’s culture can spare nothing, wants all material. He is to convert all impediments into instruments, all enemies into power.”
