Developing our students

During CCA sessions, members acquire a basic understanding of a digital camera's features and handling. They get to familiarise with different camera modes and how each setting is chosen to create an intended effect. Members are given opportunities to learn and develop the ‘eye’ in shooting quality pictures.

They then apply technical skills to shoot photographs representing several themes. Members also learn basic photo editing skills using Adobe Lightroom software or any free online software with integration of design elements in photos.

Growing hearts and minds

Activities conducted during the CCA sessions are geared towards character building and inculcating the values of team spirit, integrity and empathy.

CCA members develop respect and empathy while exercising integrity and discipline during photoshoots where they learn to find meaning through storytelling.

Members are given the opportunity to discuss about issues that arise during activities and learn to solve problems with one another.

Empowering leaders and talents

Photography Club leaders are empowered to lead logistics processes and maintenance of equipment during CCA thereby developing a sense of discipline. They are also given opportunity to guide members from the junior class during photoshoots to hone their leadership skills.

Selected members are invited to take part in various national photography competitions to gain exposure, build confidence and exercise integrity.

All club members will be given opportunity to cover school events to develop team spirit, confidence and discipline.
