Reflection on School Mission,Vision and Values

Anderson Primary School's Mission is "Providing quality education to equip pupils with the values, knowledge and skills for the 21st Century."

Our Vision is "A School of Distinction Nurturing Future-Ready Citizens of Character".

Our Motto is "Courage & Sincerity".

Our Core Values can be remembered as SPICES:
  • Self-Discipline
  • Passion for Learning
  • Integrity
  • Courage
  • Excellence
  • Sincerity

I am not really very sure what the Mission and Vision are, but Mummy told us that every school should have a Mission so that the principal, teachers and office staff all have the same understanding of what the school is working towards in the future. The students may not really understand the Mission and Vision, but they can understand what the values mean to each of them.

I believe in the school values because we can learn to be better people by practising and living our lives according to the values. If we can be self-disciplined and have passion for learning and ensure excellence in whatever we do, we can achieve good results. If we have integrity and courage, we always tell the truth and don't lie even if we have to admit our wrong-doings. If we are sincere to people, people will trust us more.

Sometimes, we will think of the school values when engaging in activities outside or inside of school. For example, some students do volunteer work outside of school because they remember that we should be sincere and help the community. Sometimes, students may forget the school values and do bad things, like littering or being nasty to others, etc. My parents help to remind us about the school values.

Teachers can help students to learn and remember the values by praising students who show the school values in their actions. These students' good deeds can be showcased in each class to encourage other students to also do the same.
