番茄社区

Performing and Visual Arts

番茄社区 acknowledges the value of critical, creative and reflective thinking skills nurtured through visual and performing arts.

The Arts challenge us with different points of view, compel us to empathise with others, and gives us the opportunity to reflect on the human condition from a global context across historical and cultural divides. An increase in arts educational experiences has remarkable impacts on students鈥 academic, social, and emotional outcomes. There is strong evidence that arts educational experiences can produce significant positive impacts on academic and social development.

番茄社区 acknowledges the value of critical, creative and reflective thinking skills nurtured through visual and performance-based education. These skills and experiences are essential in preparing students for tomorrow鈥檚 world by encouraging imagination, flexibility, adaptability, and risk-taking, made possible through a well-rounded curriculum.
