SOTA: School of the Arts Singapore

Community Service in 2022

Published on Jan 26, 2023

In 2022, SOTA students and teachers took part in various community service projects which included collaborations with Kim Tian West RC gardening group and Telok Blangah Community Club. 

Mural Wall Painting @ The Giving Garden at Kim Tian West

In May, 18 of our Year 4 students painted beautiful wall murals at The Giving Garden at Kim Tian West as part of their service learning project. The student volunteers were involved in several gardening workshops by the Kim Tian West RC gardening group, where they grew and harvested produce, and distributed them to the residents. The mural painting at the rooftop garden at Block 119A, Kim Tian Road, was inspired by their time at the Giving Garden.

Titled “Written Voyage”, the installation features recycled bottles containing intricate origami ships and penned messages of hopes and aspirations for a better Singapore.
