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.
