Learning for Life Programme (LLP)
The Tampinesian Arts Philosophy
- The arts refers to a dynamic range of creative expressions including visual art, music, drama, and dance. Central to this creative community is our human need to reflect on the individual’s purpose in society, and to learn new ways of communicating meaning between one another.
- The arts allows us to safely explore imagined worlds, extend our perspectives to others’ situations, and examine our individuality and humanity. In Tampines Secondary School, our Learning for Life Programme (LLP) harnesses the arts as a vibrant learning domain with fresh pedagogical possibilities to provide students with discoveries on their character and holistic growth. We are proud to accompany our students on our LLP journey entitled:
