In CTSS, we seek to inculcate in our students an appreciation for the Arts. The school creates platforms for Clementeens to explore, experience and experiment performance through events such as the biennial School Musical, where they are trained in cast, creative and crew work, and are taught valuable lessons of adaptability, self-discipline, perseverance, respect and empathy in the process. The students are shown the realities of work in the performing arts through these experiences.  The school also exposes our students to different art forms through assembly programmes and End-of-Term Cohort Activities, where students learn more about music, dance and drama.

CT Performing Arts has performed well regularly in the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Arts Presentation. Apart from participating in competitions, the Performing Arts CCA Groups contributes to the community by showcasing their talents in performances during community events. Clementeens also have adequate opportunities to perform in school events.

In music lessons, Clementeens experience a broad spectrum of modules ranging from Samba Percussion, Keyboard, Pop Band, to Composition using digital audio workstations. This allows Clementeens to experience learning music based on authentic settings and real-world context. Art lessons, emphasis has been placed on relating elements of art and principles of design to life experiences. 

In all,  the Aesthetics experience in CTSS develops Clementeens to be future-ready with a sense of appreciation of beauty around them.

"Being part of CTWinds has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my school life. Through countless rehearsals and performances, I have not only grown as a musician but also learned the importance of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. The support and friendships I’ve built within the band have made it feel like a second family. Each challenge has strengthened my confidence and commitment, pushing me to strive for excellence. I am truly grateful for the memories and skills I’ve gained, which will stay with me long after I l graduate from CTSS.
