The revamped Art Space in Qihua provides a platform for our students to express themselves through art talk and be inspired to take ownership of their artistic expression through the exhibition of their artworks during the class gallery walk.

*The activities were conducted in accordance with SMM guidelines.

Qihuaians took up the challenge to recreate famous artworks at home. The challenge encouraged families to stay engaged and inspired through art during the circuit breaker. The results of this challenge displayed the creativity of our students.

Museum Based Learning (MBL) is a compulsory module for all Primary 4 students.
