美育 Aesthetics

Key Programmes / Activities

The Aesthetics Department is committed to nurturing our students to be joyful learners through our Art and Music Programmes. Our Art and Music programmes provide ample opportunities for creative and innovative self-expression and equip our students with the knowledge and skills that promote a lifelong enjoyment and appreciation of the Arts.

Art Programme

The Art Programme in RSS provides students with opportunities to explore and experiment with a variety of media and tools. Students are exposed to a multitude of art forms such as 2D, 3D, digital and traditional artworks. In P1 and P2, students are first exposed to a wide variety of mediums to pique their curiosity and stimulate their creativity in Art. When students reach P3, they will gain an exposure to different art styles and techniques to express themselves. As they move up to P4, students will have the opportunity to visit a local Art gallery as part of the Museum-based Learning (MBL) module. This enables them to cultivate museum etiquette and appreciate local artists and their artworks. At P5 and P6, students will have the chance to explore new media through the utilization of digital technology.

In addition to art practices, the Art programme in RSS also comprises cultural experiences. To achieve the school’s goal of nurturing bilingual and bi-cultural students with a global outlook, the Art programme in RSS is specially designed to provide students with a rich and broad understanding and experience of the various cultures in the local and global contexts. The Mother-Tongue Language Fortnight (MTLF) Art programme is an example of a programme that aims to deepen students’ understanding and appreciation of the Chinese culture. Through these rich and varied learning experiences, our students enjoy art, learn to communicate visually and make meaning through connecting with society and culture.

Music Programme

The Music Programme in RSS is designed to engage students in an enjoyable and meaningful musical learning experiences. To achieve the school’s goal of nurturing bilingual and bi-cultural students with a global outlook, the Music Programme is tailored to offer students the opportunities for cultivating an appreciation of the Chinese language and culture, and cultural diversity within the local and global contexts. Examples of such programmes include the P5 and P6 Xinyao Programme and the International Friendship Day Music Performance.

The Music Programme also ensures that students’ learning is deepened through the progression of musical knowledge and skills, such as the Recorder Programme at P3 and P4, and the Ukulele Programme at P4 and P5. In addition, students are given the opportunities to develop their ability in creative composition and expression, such as the P4 GarageBand Programme. Students are also encouraged to showcase their music talents through our RSS Musical Buskers and RSS Got Talent programmes. Through these rich learning experiences, students learn to appreciate music from different cultures in the local and global contexts, and develop the ability for creative expression and communication through music, thus motivating them towards a lifelong enjoyment of music.
