Vision & Mission
Our approach is proactive, interactive and down-to-earth. We advocate self-discipline among our students, and combine discipline with counselling in enhancing students' self-image. Our on-campus social worker and educational psychologist provide pertinent guidance to students in need. S.1-S.3 students are required stay in school for lunch. During the lunch period, comprehensive cultural and sustainable development (SD)-related activities are regularly organized. Various uniformed groups are also established to heighten students' sense of discipline and civic responsibility. In addition, Personal Growth Education (PGE) is used to raise the overall quality of students by reaffirming CFSS core values. It is our new approach in actualizing this area of concern. And whole-school approach in the process is indispensable.
To provide quality education; to foster in students leadership, critical thinking, creativity and confidence through the use of modern techniques and technology; To cultivate empathy and mutual respect to foster harmonious relationships in our school and society, and to build up our students' global awareness and adequately prepare students with the knowledge and skills necessary for substantive contribution to society.
