FUTURE DIRECTIONS
Our fundamental belief is that every Clementeen can aspire and grow in character, citizenship and academic pursuits. The CTSS education should help our students to become stewards of their lives with the passion to learn, the confidence to lead and the humility to serve. Teachers hold the key to unlock the hearts and minds of our students, while leaders are the catalysts of change. Sustained academic excellence will require a balance of students’ self-directed learning, collaborative learning and teaching for understanding. Differentiated instruction and raising teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge and curriculum innovations supported by Action Research and Lesson Study will be our priority areas for staff development.
Clementi Town Secondary School( CTSS) strongly believes that holistic education for our young requires the collective efforts of the school, parents and the community. Hence, forging synergistic partnerships with local and overseas partners will be critical to our next phase of work in implementing a curriculum infused with 21 st Century Competencies to help our students navigate the increasing complexities of the world. Corporate Social Responsibility and Active Citizenry will be heightened with the aim to imbue in every Clementeen, the virtue of“ Paying It Forward” so that CTSS can contribute more to the Singapore Story and the world.
Our aim is to provide a compelling reason for every student and staff to return to work the next day by creating a distinctive culture for CTSS – a school with a positive ethos, a dynamic ecosystem, a forward-looking curriculum and a highly engaged community of learners and servant leaders.
The future of CTSS lies in our hands and it is up to each member of the CTSS’ family to come forward and make a positive difference to propel our school to the next phase of growth.
