The Water Play CCA offers students a fun and therapeutic environment to engage in sensory-based water activities. This CCA comprises students from different classes, mainly from the High Support Programme, coming together to explore, play, and learn through water experiences. The sessions are designed to gradually build water confidence while promoting sensory integration, body awareness, and physical coordination.
Throughout the year, under the guidance of our Hydrotherapy Master Class Certified Teachers, students participate in a variety of engaging activities. They progress from initial sensory exploration—such as splashing, pouring, and bubble play—to confidently engaging in water-based activities for up to 30 minutes. Over time, they develop the ability to float with support, move their limbs in the water, and perform simple coordination exercises.
This structured progression encourages each student to overcome challenges at their own pace, fostering confidence, resilience, and joy in every session. Through these experiences, students not only develop physical skills and coordination but also demonstrate resilience and growing comfort in new sensory environments. The Water Play CCA provides a safe, enjoyable, and inclusive platform for students to enhance their coordination, wellbeing, and self-assurance through the joy of water-based exploration.
Objectives:
- Build water confidence and promote sensory awareness through enjoyable, hands-on experiences.
- Strengthen coordination, balance, and motor skills through guided movement in water.
- Encourage students to explore, experiment, and express themselves in a safe environment.
- Nurture Resilience and Confidence as students overcome challenges at their own pace.
- Support relaxation, social interaction, and overall physical and emotional wellbeing.

The CCA provides a platform for students to showcase their talents and expand their knowledge in art and artmaking through different techniques such as blending, mixing, and using everyday items to create art. Visual Arts provide the freedom to manipulate various materials in an organic and unstructured way, ultimately leading to the creation of unique artwork by individual student.
Objectives:
- Develop on-task skills and hand-eye co-ordination
- Provide opportunities for creative and artistic expressions
- Value art exploration and experimentation in each individual young artist

To achieve this, students use a ramp to aim and propel the ball, aiming to position it as close as possible to the white target “Jack” ball on the playing field. Students also can enhance their skills through modified Boccia games, such as bowling variation, where they work on both their aiming and pushing skills.
