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
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 moral values Acquisition and practice of soft skills Social integration -shared and common experiences
for children from different backgrounds and ethnic groups
Safe learning environment where consequences or failure / mistakes are managed locally
Opportunities for character and leadership development
Lifelong pursuit of interests and greater freedom of outward expression

Healthy Living at Home
Get Your Child Up and Going Ask your child what physical activities he likes to do
and then help him do it
Be a role model Show your child that physical activity is important by enthusiastically participating in it with him. Encourage your child to participate in team sports Provide opportunities to play in team sports. Take time to work through social issues, not just the technical aspect of the game, to hone your child's social skills.
Healthy Living at Home
Get Your Child Up and Going Include sports as one of the activities when you
plan family events for the weekend Organise family activities outdoors - play ball games, frisbee, cycling, etc. Select "toys" or gifts that promote physical
activity Purchase "toys" or gifts that get your child moving. "Toys" or gifts like a ball, jump rope and a pair of in-line skates can provide a child with many hours of fun.
