Key Programmes

1. ART

Our Art Programme fosters creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression. Through Making Thinking Visible with Drawing, students learn to express ideas and make their thinking processes visible, developing both technical and conceptual skills.

1.1 Learning with Portfolios

Lower Secondary students begin their artistic journey with e-portfolios, which help them track progress, record artworks, and document processes. These e-portfolios extend to Upper Secondary, preparing students for tertiary Early Admission Programmes (EAE) and serving as a valuable showcase of their growth and unique artistic voice.

1.2 Talent Development

For Secondary 3 students with exceptional drawing and rendering skills, our Art Unit offers an advanced Higher Art option in Secondary 4, supporting their artistic potential and preparing them for future creative opportunities.

Through these experiences, we equip students to thrive as reflective, skilled artists ready for future challenges.

2. Design & Technology

The D&T curriculum provides students with a design and make programme which allows them to solve real-world problems. Students use the Design Process (similar to Design Thinking) in their problems solving approach. The curriculum develops students' creative, innovative and adaptive thinking. It also aims to build students' resilence and self-confidence. At lower secondary, students are given design situations to scaffold their learning. They design and make handphone holders, night lights, and desk tidies. At upper secondary, students will choose their own design situations before embarking on their design and make journey.

3. Food & Consumer Education (Lower Secondary) and Nutrition & Food Science (Upper Secondary)

Students taking FCE/NFS curriculum will have the opportunities to:

Apply scientific principles during food preparation and cooking.
Learn to appreciate the importance of using a variety of food commodities in food management and the issues of food security, including food safety and sustainable food consumption.
Advocate nutrition and health for self, family and the community.

These experiences will help them achieve the outcomes of a being a FCE/NFS student - a health ambassador, a discerning consumer and a food innovator.
