Motto and Mission

Motto

Thou Art the Light of the World

You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? It is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men. You are the light of the world. A town put on a hill may be seen by all. And a burning light is not put under a vessel, but on its table; so that its rays may be shining on all who are in the house. Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

(Matthew 5: 13-16)

We emphasize the importance of creativity, innovation, self-sacrifice, concern for others and the pursuit of excellence, in addition to upholding the spirit of the school motto ‘Thou art the light of the world’. We are striving for achieving our common goals of fostering whole-person development of our students, and guiding them to learn to serve one another as well as the community at large.
