Vision & Mission
Our mission is to nurture 'Men of Human Excellence', with Competence, Commitment, Compassion and Conscience. Love and care, respect and justice, responsibility, strive for excellence and faith are our core values. All students are expected to exercise self-discipline and responsibility towards others. Students are given ample space to make decisions on their own so that they may grow into responsible persons with good real-life problem-solving skills. By upholding our spirit of 'unity in plurality' and 'men for and with others', we help our students learn to be empathic with others' needs, ideas and feelings. Educational Psychologists are stationed in the school to help students overcome problems they may come across. Students are reflective and respectful. They love the school and their sense of belonging to the school is very strong.
We offer a holistic, liberating and transforming Catholic education within a learning community for students and staff to become progressively competent, committed, compassionate, spiritual, and ethically discerning persons with a universal heart contributing to the welfare and happiness of all, in particular the poor and the neglected.
