Programmes

Enhancing PE through Educational Technology and Visible Thinking

Physical Education at SACPS is evolving to meet the needs of 21st-century learners by incorporating Educational Technology (EdTech) tools such as Padlet and Plickers. These tools support interactive learning, encourage collaboration, and help students develop informational and reflective skills within their PE experience.

Moving away from traditional grading, our focus is shifting toward recognising individual learning progress through personal portfolios. This approach supports a culture of lifelong learning and encourages students to take ownership of their development.

To deepen understanding and application of concepts and skills, PE lessons also integrate Project Zero (PZ) thinking routines. These routines make students’ thinking visible, guiding them to reflect, ask questions, and apply what they learn in meaningful ways.

Music

The SACPS Music Programme is a school-wide programme with a strong vision to build a creative and vibrant environment which cultivates confident individuals with an appreciation for music. The aim of the Music Programme is to cultivate a passion for and engagement with music.

Through the Music Programme, students will explore different musical genres and styles, connecting them with their cultural heritage while fostering an appreciation for the diverse genres of music from around the world. The Music Programme is designed to enhance the holistic development of students by instilling values and promoting social-emotional well-being. It also facilitates the development of psychomotor skills and lays the groundwork for future educational pursuits in music.

Visual Art

Students are exposed to a range of artworks by Singapore, international masters/contemporary artists as well as from students from our schools. To experience art making and art discussion meaningfully, these artworks are organised under three focus areas and four themes:

The Art Gallery

SACPS Art Gallery was set up in 2017. It is a learning space for students where they learn gallery etiquette and the different roles related to art. It also creates the opportunity for students to talk about and have a discussion about the artworks in a safe environment. As part of the Art curriculum, each cohort will exhibit their artworks at least once a year. The upper primary students will have an opportunity to curate their own exhibition.

CCA

At SACPS, we believe that every student should have opportunities to discover her passions, develop her strengths and grow beyond the classroom. While participation in a Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) is not compulsory at the primary level, we strongly encourage all students to join a CCA from Primary 3 onwards.

CCA is an integral part of the holistic education experience at SACPS. It provides a meaningful platform for students to practise self-leadership, pursue their interests and develop new skills. Through their participation, students learn important values, build social-emotional competencies, strengthen resilience and teamwork, and develop confidence in their abilities.

CCA also brings together students from diverse backgrounds to learn, collaborate and forge lasting friendships. Through shared experiences and meaningful contributions, students develop a strong sense of belonging to the school community and grow into confident and compassionate individuals who are ready to make a positive difference in the future.

We encourage every SACPS girl to explore her interests, embrace new challenges and make the most of the enriching opportunities that CCA offers.
