Aesthetics Education
Vision: A creative and vibrant Arts environment which cultivates every child to be competent and confident, with an appreciation for the Arts.
Mission:
1. To encourage appreciation of the arts
2. To equip with skills to create
3. To express inner thoughts and emotions
4. To celebrate the vibrancy of life through meaningful connection with society and culture
The department’s approach is to develop each student to be able to:
• perform the arts with the knowledge and skills learnt
• create arts, with knowledge and skills acquired
• respond to the arts
We aim to provide all students with quality arts education to enable them to find an area of interest where they deepen their interest and build confidence. We aim to create a vibrant arts environment to educate our students to acquire knowledge, skills and values during their formative years to enable them to develop and grow to their full potential.
