Creative Arts Week
The Arts Week was held from 16th to 18th April. A variety of activities were co-organized by different departments which drew active participation of students.
Home Economics
Creative Arts Week began with a yummy demonstration and food tasting at lunch time of quintessential British tea time favourites - cucumber sandwiches. This was followed by a fabulous street party after school where students enjoyed scones with clotted cream and jam, sausage rolls and egg sandwiches accompanied by a decades spanning Britpop soundtrack! The tables were beautifully decorated by the Art teachers and the atmosphere was brilliant.
Visual Arts
During Arts week the Visual Arts Department organised a series of creative workshops under the theme of ‘Best of British’. Activities included punk rock badge making, bunting making and street art stencilling. Many of our Form 1,2 and 3 students eagerly took part whilst Form 3 and 4 students were brilliant in helping to demonstrate and run each event. Each activity was very well attended and there was an array of beautiful arts and crafts created.
Music Department
On 18th April, the Music Department organised The School of Band Challenge, targeting music beginners who wish to gain some new music skills, to form their own band or experience band jamming. Under the theme of British culture in the Creative Arts Week, the songs selected were under the genre of British rock or pop. Each team was assigned with the name of an iconic British band, with a short biography to introduce to our students.
To kick-start the event, the student musicians and staff performed as a demonstration. Tasks were set at two levels of difficulties in the department of acoustic and electric guitar, bass, vocal, keyboard and drum. Participants followed their team to visit each department to learn the tasks under given time. It was a way to pay it forward for experienced musicians to share their skills with the beginners. The participants were fully indulged in the activity, despite the limited time frame, it served as a good taster course for them.
