From P1 through P6, students explore specialized creative forms through Digital Art and Ceramics modules, which progressively increase students’ talents.

CCA@SAPS

CCAs (Co-Curricular Activities) are a vital aspect of a student’s educational experience. The following objectives guide CCAs at SAPS:

• Through their CCA involvement, Anthonians enhance their character and live out the school vision of becoming the best they can be to improve the world.
• Nonacademic knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes get developed by Antonians.

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) focus on the specific information development, skills, and values based on the CCA chosen by the student. Students can find their interests and abilities by participating in a CCA, which also serves as a platform for students from various backgrounds to interact and create lasting friendships.

Growth Mindset@SAPS

Growth Mindset@SAPS is a whole-school strategy to cultivate a growth mindset culture and make our kids passionate and joyful learners. People’s mindsets are their views about their skills. Carol Dweck, a Stanford University professor of psychology, discovered that those who feel their intelligence can (growth mindset) outperform those who believe their intelligence is static (fixed mindset). The school has made it a goal to promote a growth mentality among its students at SAPS. They introduced Dr. Carol Dweck’s theories to staff and students as part of our Back-to-School event in 2021, intending to embed them in the school’s ethos.
