🎯 Mission
We strive to provide students with holistic Christian education to develop their God given potential to the fullest extent, nurture them to become enthusiastic learners and responsible citizens so as to glorify God and benefit mankind. 1) Bearing witness to Jesus Christ 2) Offering quality education 3) Nurturing new century talents
📚 Approach & Strategies
The computer curriculum for students in S1-S3 has been augmented with the introduction of new modules such as "AI lessons" to nurture students as future leaders, empowering them to harness the full potential of AI. The S.3 Science Extension class will participate in the STEM Expo, which provides students with a platform to showcase their innovative ideas. // "Student Development Report" encompasses an evaluation of a student's academic performance, subject knowledge, subject activities performance, and subject attitude. Additionally, student conduct will be assessed based on their self-discipline, manner, service, and diligence. Students are also required to write a reflection to summarise what they have learnt during the year.
