Performing Arts

Performing Arts CCAs instill in students a sense of graciousness and an appreciation for the rich and heritage of a multi-racial society. These CCAs provide opportunities for students to develop a lifelong passion for the arts. They also nurture students’ creative expression, enrich social, cultural and historical awareness, and build character.

We offer the following Performing Arts CCAs:

Brass Band
Choir
Chinese Dance
Modern Dance
Malay Dance

Brass Band

Brass Band CCA enables students to develop their musical abilities through hands-on experience with various brass and percussion instruments. Under teachers' and instructors' guidance, members strengthen their leadership skills whilst fostering essential values of commitment, perseverance, and teamwork. Students gain valuable performance experience through the biennial Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation, enriching their musical and educational journey.

Objectives
Brass Band members will be developed holistically across three key areas:

Build their musical skills through instrumental mastery, ensemble techniques, and cultivate listening abilities, rhythm, pitch accuracy, and sight-reading capabilities whilst build performance confidence and stage presence.

Cultivate core values such as discipline, resilience and perseverance as members tackle challenging pieces together. As an ensemble, they develop teamwork, mutual respect and a deep appreciation for music and the arts.

Develop leadership by empowering section leaders and band members to guide and inspire their peers. Members build confidence, communication and mentoring skills as they support juniors and contribute to performances that unite the band.

Student Experience

“When I was first assigned to Band as my CCA in P3, it was not my first choice so I thought I will not enjoy it compared to playing sports. After months of practice, I got better and better, and realised that I actually had a hidden talent for playing the trombone. Playing music is not boring but beautiful!” – Peng Yuda

Choir

Choir CCA helps students to explore and develop their love for music and singing. Through age-appropriate vocal training and exposure to diverse musical genres, cultures, and languages, our choristers will deepen their musicality and artistic appreciation. Beyond music, choir members cultivate important life skills such as teamwork, self-discipline, commitment, confidence, and resilience as they learn to blend their voices in harmony.

Objectives

Our choristers will be developed holistically across three key areas:

Skills:

Develop vocal and choral techniques, strengthen music literacy, and enhance ensemble performance skills.

Values:

Build resilience, integrity, and responsibility while appreciating cultural diversity through varied musical experiences.

Leadership:

Foster mentorship, initiative, and confidence as students take on roles leading peers and representing the school.

Programme Highlights:

Our choristers proudly represent the school at various platforms, including school celebrations like Prize Giving Day, as well as national events such as the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation. They also perform at external performances such as the National Day Observance Ceremony for the Buona Vista Community Club. Our choristers are also provided with opportunities to collaborate and share music with choir groups from other schools during school exchanges and bring joy to the community through performances at various outreach events.

Students Experiences

“I love to sing with my friends in Choir, sometimes we play games to help us to sing better. I remember the first time I sang a song with my friends on stage, I felt so excited and proud of myself. That is when I found out I will enjoy Choir very much.” – Li Liyu

“I love to sing with my Choir friends. When I joined as a new member in Primary 3, I will always remember how my senior helped me to sing better and improve my pitching. I am always so grateful for her, and I wish to do the same too with my junior members.” - Ariana Rose Binte Yunani

Chinese Dance

“Three minutes on stage is the result of three years of training”. Our Chinese Dance club emphasises commitment and diligence in its members. Members learn about Chinese culture through different Chinese dance forms and are progressively guided to learn various dance techniques and skills to attain greater proficiency. Their talents are showcased regularly both in school and on the national platforms such as Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Arts Presentation. Members learn self-management, teamwork, responsibility and are also given the opportunities to take on leadership roles to build and develop their character.
