Choir

Priding ourselves as an established and fine choir with an excellent track record of achievements, we have the hard work and dedication put in by the choristers, teachers and instructor through the decade to thank for. Anchoring on our strong belief in developing our choristers holistically, we have developed our choral programme into two broad areas, mainly, choral singing skills and character development. We are actively engaged in continual renewal, seeking improvement to meet new challenges as we take our choir to new heights.

Handbells and Handchimes Ensemble

The Handbells and Handchimes Ensemble was established in 2002 and has since clinched 5 sliver awards. Recruitment of new members begins in Primary 3 after the P3 Singing Bells and Chimes curriculum-based music enrichment lessons. Pupils who have been identified as having an aptitude and attitude will be invited to join the CCA. Further auditions will be conducted to confirm the final list of members recruited into the CCA.

Chinese Dance

Woodlands Primary Chinese Dance aims to instil in pupils their passion for dance and to develop in them a love for the aesthetics. Through participating in various competitions and performances, pupils learn to work as a team and gain self- confidence.

Malay Dance

The Malay dance group aspires to instil self confidence and teamwork through the learning of culture. Through their participation, we hope that the dancers will not only learn to express their feelings and appreciate others but also to understand the importance of dedication and commitment values which are important to the holistic development of the dancer. The dancers develop their non-academic talent by learning both traditional as well as contemporary Malay dance techniques. The Malay dance group participates actively in various school and community celebrations.

Indian Dance

Every dancer of Indian Dance is of good character and culturally vibrant. Through a dedicated arts education and caring environment, every dancer is nurtured in embracing cultural diversity & camaraderie so that she grows up to be a refined and gracious citizen. Our Indian Dancers at Woodlands Primary School have made significant progress over the years. The troupe has performed at both school and community events.

Speech and Drama Club

The main objective of the Speech and Drama Club is to help our pupils explore ways of expressing themselves using the appropriate voice. Techniques like tableau, mimes, speech drills and improvisation are taught to our pupils. They were also introduced to the 4Ps of voice – pitch, pace, pause and power through prose, sentences and poems. The training in speech has helped our pupils to improve their confidence and self- esteem when communicating with others. They are better able to express themselves using the techniques learnt. The highlight for our training can be observed from the year end performance during Children’s Day.
