Foreword
The new senior secondary (NSS) curriculum to be implemented in the 2009/10 school year comprises Core Subjects, Elective Subjects and Other Learning Experiences (OLE). Aesthetic Development is one of the essential components in OLE and every student will be provided with 135 hours for learning the arts throughout the three years of secondary education. Students will experience the arts through appreciating, creating, performing and reflecting activities, and further develop creativity, aesthetic sensitivity and arts appraising ability.
The Department presents the School Arts Animateur Scheme (SAAS) and the School Culture Day Scheme (SCDS) which have won tremendous support from the school sector every year. To tie in with the implementation of Aesthetic Development in NSS curriculum, the LCSD organized the "Experience the Arts - Pilot Scheme for Senior Secondary Studentsˇ¨ in 2007/08 and 2008/09 , offering a series of in-depth performing arts programmes with a view to developing their life-long interest in the arts.
For the 2008/09 school year, we have arranged a series of programmes covering dance, drama, music, Chinese opera and multimedia arts. Participating artists/ arts groups include Paul Taylor Dance Company, JohnChen Ensemble, Hong Kong Ballet, TNT Theatre, City Contemporary Dance Company, Chung Ying Theatre Company, Hong Kong Dance Company, Shu Ning Presentation Unit, renowned Cantonese Opera a rtistes Yuen Siu-fai and San Kim-long and Theatre du Pif. Every student who attends the activities of the Scheme will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance. |
