As part of the community outreach activities in Greenridge Secondary School (GSS) Learning for Life Programme (LLP), students from the GSS Performing Arts group organized an Arts carnival at the Jurong West Public library and Choa Chu Kang Public Libraries to introduce different Arts to the community! During the carnival, our Performing Arts students taught the young children different dances, instruments and origami. Through this meaningful carnival, our students not only impacted the community, but also learn how to mentor and interact with others.

Secondary 3: Facade Art Collaborative Project with Bukit Panjang/ Zhenghua Community Centre

Greenridge Secondary School has been working with Bukit Panjang and Zhenghua CC in the annual PassionArts Festival. PAssionArts Festival is a community arts festival created by, with and for residents and schools. It seeks to inspire the community through arts and to promote interaction and neighbourliness among residents which is aligned to our school’s Arts Education vision.

In 2014, Greenridge Secondary School was invited to be part of this arts project, titled “CAMERA, LIGHT, and ACTION!” Our Secondary Three Visual Art students worked with an artist and painted on canvases which were displayed to the community at Senja Square. As part of our internal review, this year, the school decided to proactively engage Zheng Hua CC on the concept for the PassionArts Festival 2015 so as to better prepare our students for the upcoming events.

To commemorate SG50, our Secondary Three Visual Arts students conceptualised a paint work on the huge canvas of size 1.2m by 10m in relation to the theme “STORIES OF OUR TOWN”. This art work includes the Singapore transport and icons from 1940s to the present. The completed Façade Art is displayed at Blk 531 Jelapang Road.

In 2016, as part of the school's Learning for Life programme (LLP) in arts education and its collaboration with Bukit Panjang CC, all our Secondary 3 students joined in to design and paint flags for the community. The students had to design their flags according to the National Day theme, "A Brighter Singapore". The students took only 3 days to paint a total of 35 flags! We look forward to seeing their flags hung proudly at the corridor of Block 270 Bangkit Road.

Secondary 3: Visual Art Collaborative Project with Rainbow Centre

As the driver for Aesthetics in Cluster West 6 Schools, Greenridge Secondary School coordinates and organises meaningful programmes for both the learners and the educators. CW6 community-based collaboration with Rainbow Centre is intended for educators to conceptualize creative approaches to allow students to work together in and for our local community. This community-based collaboration with Rainbow Centre aims to provide both teachers and students a creative learning platform through visual art and allow our students to become active contributors to our community. The objective is to conceptualize and execute visual art lessons catered for special needs students through collaboration with teachers at Rainbow Centre. This collaboration also creates opportunity for CW6 teachers and students to learn to interact with special needs students (Autism and Multiple Disabilities) through creating of art pieces and develop a sense of service to the community.

Before the project commences, CW6 teachers and students were briefed on how to interact with the special needs students and will designed lessons plans to be taught in a thematic approach proposed by different schools. For example, Butterfly, Art Stamping, Hearts, Animals etc. Each school will be assigned to a special needs class (7 to 9 students aged 11 to 17) which they will be working with them twice a week to complete the art canvases. A total of 4 students and one teacher from each CW6 school had participated in this project.
