The annual SOTA Primary 6 Art Competition encourages young artists to express their creativity and hone their talents in Visual Arts. This year's edition saw over 1000 submissions based on one of the three themes,“Looking Out of My Window”, “Space Zoo”, and “Tropical Fruit”.

In November 2019, the SOTA music faculty invited Primary 4 and 5 pupils from more than 10 primary schools for "Play with SOTA", a music outreach programme supported by Temasek Foundation.

Our Year 4 Theatre students staged a brilliant production in July with four runs of Cluster Fish, specially written for upper primary school children by prominent local playwright Haresh Sharma. Confronting the various pressures a primary school student faces, Cluster Fish was a thought-provoking play.

More than 30 teachers and students from eight primary schools attended the Year 5 IBCP Repertoire and Performance Dance showcase as part of SOTA’s outreach efforts in September this year.

This year, the SOTA P6 Art Competition 2019 received 30% more submissions as compared to last year. The submissions came from over 140 primary schools in Singapore!

Congratulations to our Top 3 winners, hailing from Sembawang Primary School, Keming Primary School and CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace!

After a well-received and sold-out run in August last year, Smartbutt was recently restaged by SOTA’s Year 6 Theatre IBCP students and alumni at the Nanyang Playhouse to four full house shows from 6 to 8 March 2019! This initiative is part of SOTA's increasing outreach efforts to make arts more accessible to primary schools students.

This year, the Competition received an approximate 25% increase in entries. In view of this, 76 finalists were selected, instead of the initially-intended 50!
