The setting
up of the Cluster Art Centre in Siglap Secondary
School in 2000 was to promote art education
among the general student population as well
as to nurture those who are artistically talented
in E1 cluster schools. It developed a broad
base of students who appreciate art through
a variety of art activities organised at the
Art Centre and also helped to expand the repertoire
of skills and knowledge of art teachers through
professional sharing of ideas and pedegogy.
In 2003 the Art Centre was elevated to the status
of Centre of Excellence (COE) (Art) serving
schools in the East Zone. The inaugural event
which took place was the East Zone Art Exhibition
which showcased 116 pieces of art works produced
by teachers and pupils of East Zone secondary
schools.
Currently COE(Art) serves as
a platform for East Zone Art Sub-Committee (which
comprises representative from each cluster)
to meet and discuss strategies to build capacity
of primary and secondary school teachers. It
also runs art workshops as well as organises
professional sharing sessions for teachers.

The Science Exploria is conceptualised
to encourage the experiential teaching and
learning of Science in primary schools. It
aims to challenge primary science educators
to greater use of hands-on and investigative
approaches to arouse curiosity and a sense
of wonder that underpins the early initiation
of our primary school pupils into scientific
thinking and discovery.
The Hub's LifeScience and TechScience initiatives
are aligned with S'pore's drive towards a
knowledge-based society to respond to the
changing needs of sustaining global competitiveness
and economic development of Singapore. The
desired outcome at the end of primary school
is that pupils should have a lively curiosity
of the natural world and the Life Science
phenomena. The keeness to explore, discover
and investigate forms the Life Science thrust
in schools.
