Raphela Junior School — Nurture Excellence for Greatness

Co-curricular programmes

Art

Art is a powerful and very individual means of communication for a child. Pupils are given a wide range of art projects that push them to learn by exploring their senses and presenting what things mean to them creatively.

Arts projects

Every class, every year, the whole school

Every year the pupils, classes and the whole school take part in arts projects. These projects give pupils a way to take part in different experiences through local exhibitions and working with practising artists.

Why it matters

The importance of art

We believe that fostering creativity in young learners is crucial for their overall development, which is why we encourage pupils to explore their artistic talents and express themselves through painting, drawing and sculpture.

Creative activities help young learners develop problem-solving skills, strengthen critical thinking and promote innovative thinking. They also build self-confidence, support emotional wellbeing and give children a sense of accomplishment and pride in their work.

Our art classes are designed to encourage children to think outside the box and explore their imaginations. By nurturing creativity, we are helping our pupils become well-rounded individuals who are better equipped for the future.

Pupils have painted flowers to wish their mothers a happy Women’s Day — the enthusiasm they brought to the task, and the finished artwork, showed each child’s individuality and unique perspective.

We’re happy to help
