What is
AEP?
AEP is a
holistic Art programme specially designed to cater for academically
able students who have keen interests and aptitude for the Visual
Arts.
This programme
has been introduced by MOE in 1985 to 4 secondary schools, amongst
which CHIJ is one of them. In IJ AEP, students go through a
broadbased curriculum, exploring the practical, theoretical
and critical aspects of Visual Arts. Students are also exposed
to a wide range of 2 and 3-dimensional art, lens-based art and
digital media.
Such learning
of art does not take place entirely in the classrooms. Students
are engaged in gallery/museum visits, attend talks by artists
and they go on overseas painting trips to explore the world
of art. School-based camps and inter-school camps are organized
annually too to encourage interaction and promote learning amongst
the AEP students.
A biennial
Art exhibition is also organized to showcase the works of the
AEP students at the Singapore Art Museum. Our AEP students are
also actively involved in community involvement projects, such
as mural painting and workshops, where they share their knowledge
with others.
At the end
of the 4-year course, students will sit for the O Level exam,
offering AEP as a Humanities subject. Students will be required
to submit a craft entry for Paper 1 – Coursework; they
have a choice between Paper 2 – Drawing and Painting or
Paper 3 – Study of Visual Arts (SOVA). As AEP students,
they have to take up Paper 4 – Visual Arts Task, a mini
research paper, for which they will be given three months to
complete.

Mission of the Music Department
As part of
the school’s efforts to
create a
vibrant arts culture in the school, the CHIJ Secondary Music
Curriculum is introduced to Secondary One students of 2008.
There are many benefits of
learning through music:
·
It contributes to the quality
of students’ holistic education and plays a part in nurturing
them to become informed audiences for the arts;
·
It
helps to enrich students’ social, cultural and historical
awareness as music is an integral part of society;
·
It instils in students the
habits of mind that last a lifetime: critical analysis skills,
the ability to deal with ambiguity and to solve problems,
perseverance and a drive for excellence. The creative skills
develop through music lead them toward new ideas, new
experiences, new challenges, and personal satisfaction.
In Term 1 & 2, Secondary One
students will go through 10 sessions of Latin Percussion whereby
they will learn three different types of rhythms: Cha-cha,
Rhumba and Salsa. The introduction of these rhythms are meant to
enhance their abilities to pick up the dance steps quickly in
their latin dance module for Physical Education in Term 3.
Below are some pictures taken
during a typical music lesson.
