Our
Philosophy in EducationWe believe that every child is unique and have
something special that they can bring to their own
education. We will assist our students to express
themselves and accept themselves for who they are, as
well embrace the differences of others.

Mrs Koh’s
Philosophy in EducationAs an educator, I believe in students’ involvement in
learning through activities and collaborative learning.
It is my desire to create opportunities for students to apply
what they have learnt to meet their full potential. Hence, I
will provide a safe environment where students are invited
to collaborate, share their ideas and take risk.
Level Briefing SLides
Ms Joesphine’s
Philosophy in EducationAs William Butler Yeats is quoted as saying, “Education is
not filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
It is my hope as the form teacher and PE teacher this year
to light the fuse in your child and help them to learn and
develop as each unique individual so that they can be a
force for good in the world.
