STEAM
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics
STEM
In STEM, students experiment with open ended activities and develop grand designs. This is to foster the creative problem-solving skills, students are encouraged to think outside the box and develop strategies for future challenges.
Past STEM topics have included understanding cities, sustainability, science through history, future worlds and many other interesting areas of focus.
Coding and digital technologies are covered for a few lessons each term, where students experiment with robots and simple programming to prepare them for the digital age.
Brace yourselves for a lot of potential presents that the students make in class and make sure you ask about the thinking behind them!
The Arts
Music
Music has always been a highlight at ACPS, with specialist music lessons weekly. These lessons comprise of singing, playing instruments, and using beat, tone and rhythm to create music and offer lots of learning and great fun.
Visual Arts
As a school in such a beautiful setting with lots of permanent art, students are lucky to also have dedicated weekly visual arts activities, learning new skills that inspire creativity. Activities may include drawing, painting, modelling, construction, fabrics and collage. Individual and group projects are completed.
Our multi-purpose room has lots of gorgeous work on display and many a graduate of ACPS will find something they created around the garden.
