Aesthetic Programs

Aesthetic Education

As articulated by the MOE Arts Education Branch, the role of arts education is central in nurturing our students’ lively curiosity and inquisitive minds. This is essential in promoting inventive thinking and fostering an innovative orientation in all that they do. Arts education also serves as a gateway to students’ sense of aesthetics, shaping how they perceive the world around them. Such perspectives help them make meaning of their lives, culture, and identity.

At Unity Secondary School, our arts education programmes are aligned with the direction of MOE and anchored in the school’s Holistic Student Development Framework and Leadership Learning Framework, giving rise to our Aesthetics Education Framework.

To make arts learning meaningful and progressive, the framework adopts a three-tiered approach:
 🎨 Exposure – Appreciate it: Students are introduced to various art forms and experiences that deepen their awareness and appreciation of the arts. ( Performances during assembly programmes such as Multi-Cultural mix of Music! SG Style!, Sec 1 Performing Arts-Based Learning at Esplanade )
 🎶 Enrichment – Learn it: Students develop their artistic skills and creative confidence through hands-on learning and guided exploration. ( Aesthetic Appreciation Programme- AAP)
 🌟 Experience – Showcase it: Students demonstrate their learning and express their individuality through authentic performance and exhibition opportunities.( Battle of the iBands, Unity Got Talent, Sec 1 LLW AAP Showcase, Arterior)

Through this framework, Unity seeks to nurture confident, creative, and resilient learners who find joy and meaning in the arts.
