The dean of discipline, she said, "was there to manage and maintain comportment, how to behave yourself, whether you're in school, out there on the street, or wherever you are. All now we've tried to maintain that level of discipline. It is a little challenging now, but we work at it," Ojoe-Mark said.

The school is a part of UNESCO's Creative Cities Project: Musical and Heritage Walk in Belmont because of its contribution to pan. Providence participated in pan activities in the late 1970s. Sr Regina introduced it to the school, though it was later inactive for a few decades. Providence resumed participation in the National Schools Panorama in 2014, teaming up with Queen's Royal College to become the Providence/QRC Steel Orchestra. They won that first year. The Providence Steel Ensemble won their pan categories in San Fest for 2020 and 2019.
