- Sharing of arts is also a process of arts creation. We open the possibility of arts sharing in various forms to the talented arts ambassador to explore, in cooperation with the effort of teacher, parents and fellow classmates.

Some senior class arts ambassadors had collaborated with school associations and organised school-wide arts activities.
