🎯 Mission

1. To work together to create for our pupils a positive and caring environment that will enable them to have healthy and balanced physical cognitive and psycho-social development. 2. To nurture for our society a group of youths who will use "Vos Parate Ut Serviatis" as their target in life and in their studies and passionately and incessantly pursue knowledge, truth and excellence.

📚 Approach & Strategies

1. In addition to the formal curriculum, there is a personal growth period, an extra-curricular activity period, a diversified learning period and a theme-based learning period each week. These periods help students achieve the goals of whole-person development and enable them to develop the lifelong learning capabilities needed in our ever-changing society. 2. Emphasize the learning experience. 3. Promote different levels of thinking and questioning to develop students' potential. 4. We cultivate students' note-taking skills, helping them organize their learning and develop effective study habits.

💛 SEN Support

The school embraces students’ ability differences so we develop a whole-school approach to support them. The Student Support Team cooperates with our professional teams and specialists to support students’ learning and growth. We offer differentiated assignments, assessment arrangements, individual education plan and other diversified learning activities according to the needs of the students.

🎨 Whole-person Learning

"Broadening Horizons, Pursuing Excellence" is the core belief of our school's wide-life learning program. We believe every child is a shining star. Through diverse learning experiences inside and outside the classroom, they can explore new horizons, enrich their knowledge, and unlock their unique potential. With a determination to excel, students are encouraged to develop their interests and talents, showcase their abilities in various activities and competitions, and grow into versatile individuals who contribute to society.
