The OFS Creative Arts programme gives students opportunities to explore ideas, express themselves and develop confidence through art, music, drama, dance and performance. Across every stage of school, students are encouraged to create, collaborate and take part in meaningful artistic experiences, whether they are discovering a new form of expression, developing their skills or sharing their work with an audience.
In Kindergarten, creative arts are woven into everyday learning through art, music, movement and imaginative play. Children explore colour, materials, sound and movement while developing confidence in expressing their ideas. Art experiences include drawing, painting, modelling and collage, while music introduces rhythm, singing and instruments. Students also have opportunities to perform on stage, building confidence, communication skills, teamwork and a sense of achievement.
In Elementary School, students develop their creativity through visual art, music, movement and collaborative projects. They explore different techniques, experiment with ideas and learn to express themselves in their own way. Opportunities such as lunchtime performances, exhibitions and school events give students the chance to share their work, build confidence and see how creativity can connect them with others.
In Middle School, students explore art, music, drama and dance in greater depth while developing their own creative interests. They experiment with different styles, techniques and forms of expression, both independently and with others. MADD Week, art exhibitions, concerts and the Middle School Talent Show give students opportunities to share their creativity, collaborate with others and build confidence in expressing their ideas.
In High School, students deepen their creative skills across visual and performing arts while developing greater independence in how they express their ideas. They can explore art, music, drama, dance and collaborative creative projects, with opportunities to take part in CultureFest, concerts, musicals and drama productions. Whether creating, performing or working behind the scenes, students are encouraged to develop their craft and share their perspectives with the school community.
