Vision & Goal
Vision
At the end of every student's journey at SMPS, we hope to see each child graduating with an open and critical mind, ready for the lifelong involvement in aesthetics. Filled with curiosity (head), and confidence to explore and learn from mistakes (hands), anchored with empathy (heart).
Goal
To create opportunities for students to discover their personal voice and be empowered to explore ideas and meanings in different contexts while deepening their understanding of the world and society.
Achievements
Draw My Stamp Story Art Competition 2020
In August 2020, our students participated in an art competition organised by the National Heritage Board and Singapore Philatelic Museum. They were tasked to create an artwork using one to three local stamps.
We would like to congratulate seven of our students for achieving Silver and Bronze awards!
