Programme Content and Approach

3. The Maris Arts Explorer programme is a four year programme2 comprising two components: Arts Practice and Arts Appreciation. The aim

is to broaden Marists’ exposure to the Arts and deepen their interest in theArts.

A palette of Arts modulesunder the components of Arts Practice and ArtsAppreciation would be offered to our Marists. They can make their choicesaccording to their interests and abilities.

Arts Modules

4. The key considerations in the selection of Arts modules are as follows:a. Students’ different interests and abilities in the Artsb. Promotion of the Chinese Arts forms given that Maris Stella High

School is a SAP schoolc. Promotion of Multi-cultural Arts forms given that Maris Stella High

School is homogenously Chinese

Examples of these Arts modules are shown in the T able 1 .

Measure of success

10.In order to ascertain the level of success of the Maris Arts Explorer programme, the following would be carried out every year as tools of

analysis.• Focus group discussion with students

• Student perception survey

• Analysis of reflection recorded in Passport

• Student contribution to the community

Constraints

11. Given the scale of the programme and resource (manpower, time &money) constraint this year, it is proposed that we begin with an “MaristArts Explorer” weekin 2008 before implementing the programme full scalein 2009. Deployment of talented Art & Music Secondary 2 & 3 students togive the Secondary One students their first stamp on their Arts passport.This would also give the Secondary 2 & 3 students an opportunity to

develop their leadership skills and make a contribution to the school.

12.A briefing will be conducted to share details with students and for clarification purpose. Following which students would sing up for their preferred module. Should the particular workshop be oversubscribed, theywould be channeled to another module. Identified Arts student leaders willbe trained to assist in the organization of the programme. CIP hours wouldbe awarded to these leaders. It is recommended that for 2008, the Maris
