“ CTSS @ 33 YEARS : A SCHOOL ANCHORED IN MISSION AND VALUES ”
Mr Lee is an active member of the Parent Support Group and School Advisory Committee , lending much support to the school programmes .
Hsu Wen is happily settled into the Junior College life . In her four years at Clementi Town Secondary School ( CTSS ), I witnessed how Hsu Wen blossomed from a quiet teenager into a self-assured young lady .
In my humble opinion , the school mission , “ To develop in every Clementeen , the passion to learn , the confidence to lead and the humility to serve ,” has nurtured her into who she is today .
I have always been keen in education matters . Moreover , I believe strongly in “ being present ” in my children ’ s learning journey . I took an active role in CTSS Parents ’ Support Group ( PSG ) and accepted the nomination to be a member of the School Advisory Committee ( SAC ). I am pleased to be able to contribute ideas and offer parents ’ feedback to support the character development programmes and initiatives . With the PSG and SAC activities , Hsu Wen and I have more common conversational topics . We often debate on what makes a champion school and believe that a champion school is “ one that is progressive and student-centric ” and that it “ delivers on its promises ”. The Clementeens and alumni create it and all including parents , teachers and staff and the community feel the spirit of a champion school .
With the consistent holistic activities and perseverance [ part of the school ’ s ASPIRe values ], I believe CTSS will become a champion school in the years ahead . These are some significant programmes and events :
• “ The Seven Effective Habits ” programme that Hsu Wen was given the opportunity to facilitate . The school went the extra mile to tailor the workshops for parents and both the upper and lower secondary students .
• School Envisioning & Planning Workshops , School Carnival , Annual Teachers ’ Day Celebration and Dinner , Aesthetic Concert , MOE Music Talent Development Centre ( MTDC ) for Choir Programme , public performances and Local and Overseas Chorale exchanges and Secondary One Registration Day ( where Hsu Wen and I went on stage to encourage more parents to join the PSG and share our experiences in PSG activities like the Marine-Life Walk @ Sentosa ).
I am honoured to have the invaluable opportunity to be a partner-in-education with CTSS and will continue to support the school programmes in the coming years .
“ Enriching !” A succinct word , when I asked Hsu Wen how she would describe her four years at CTSS .
