Vision & Mission

School ethos

Our school is renowned for its admirable school ethos and discipline, as well as its harmonious teacher-student relationships. The Religious and Moral Education Committee organizes speeches, seminars and workshops to raise students' moral standards. Every year, a moral educational goal is set. Teachers and students take turns to give speeches on that goal. They share the rationale, importance, methods to achieve the goal and their experiences with the whole school.

Vision & mission

We practise the ideal of Jesus Christ and provide students with holistic education. We hope that our students will strive for the best, be benevolent and contribute themselves to society.
