Art

Visual Art Art is a way of making and communicating meaning through imagery. Visual art channels a child’s innate curiosity for learning; developing his sensitivity and perceptual awareness to appreciate and understand his visual environment, allowing him to make connections between the imaginative and the real world. Vision  Every child has the opportunity to:  explore and experience art through their senses  express ideas, feelings and experiences in visual form with imagination, enjoyment and a sense of fulfilment  articulate ideas, experiences, thoughts and opinions about art Mission  To provide learning opportunities and platforms for each child to grow in the visual arts as both artist and audience

CCA PROGRAMME CCA : CO - C U R R I C U L A R A C T I V I T I E S

CCA Programme The Straits Times 31 December 2013

CCA Programme It is well documented that regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence assists in socialization, school engagement, psycho- social development and academic motivation. It also reduces problem behaviour

CCA Programme … the Medical College of Georgia in the United States found that 40 minutes a day of aerobic exercise improved “executive function”- the aspect of intelligence that helps us pay attention, plan and resist distractions.

CCA Programme It is not the CCA participation per se that enhances educational outcomes. It is the fact that the activity provides skills, strengths, networks and support, plus social and personal rewards.

CCA Programme CCA provides contexts for:  Learning and living of m oral values  Acquisition and practice of soft skills  Social integration -shared and common experiences for children from different backgrounds and ethnic groups  Safe learning environm ent where consequences or failure / mistakes are managed locally  Opportunities for character and leadership development  Lifelong pursuit of interests and greater freedom of outward expression
