Students get to experience creating art focusing on the art-making process using the multi-sensory approach. The CCA comprises student from both the High Support Programme and Functional Programme coming together to learn as we believe that art hold no boundaries. Focusing on self-expression and valuing the ability of each individual, students learn useful techniques from the Art Instructor, Ms Lee Sher Ley.
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

Event/Activity (if any): Singtel Expressions Through Art 2023
Date: 14 November 2023
Venue: Ang Mo Kio MRT Station & 313@Somerset
On 14 November 2023, Singtel collaborated with SMRT to launch the artworks of SPED students that had gone on display at various MRT stations for a month. This event featured 36 pieces of artworks created by students from all SPED schools in Singapore. These artworks were selected by a panel comprising Heads of Department (Art) from two SPED schools.
The artwork created by Harith Bin Hazli (Falcon 5C), titled “Dreamy Me” was selected for this exhibition. Inspired by the artistic style of contemporary Indonesian painter Eddie Hara, Harith drew his favourite thoughts. The artwork is playful, full of colours and dreamy. It has since been on display for a month at the Lakeside MRT station, the nearest MRT station to CPASS West.
Hairth’s individual style can be seen through his unique artmaking process.
Harith and Ms Michelle Chin (Modular Art CCA Teacher In-Charge) were thrilled to see his artwork displayed at Somerset MRT station during the event.
A proud moment for Harith when the First Lady Ms Jane Ittogi came over to view his artwork.
Drills and Practice
Students explore Boccia activity through a combination of drills and practice, where we seamlessly integrate essential Boccia skills. Engaging in interactive and enjoyable games, such as parachute play, students practise their grasping skills while simultaneously exercising their upper arm muscles.
Modified Boccia games
Accuracy is an important component in Boccia. 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.

CP Football Trial
In preparation for the new sports modular CP Football in 2024, students had the opportunity to experience this para sports during the last session this year. Students thoroughly enjoyed this trial as evident from the smiles on their faces when they kicked the balls into the goalpost. In addition to traditional play, we engaged in adaptive football games where carton boxes were attached to the front of the wheelchairs. This modification allowed students to pass and push the ball using their wheelchairs, adding inclusivity and excitement to the activity.
