To deepen home-school collaboration and support holistic student development, we held an inaugural 2025-2026 Home-School Communication Session on September 26th. The event featured a Principal's information sharing, curriculum briefings, and classroom visits, creating a transparent platform for parents to collaboratively foster student growth and future success.

Ms Christine Carey also outlined upcoming activities and learning plans, meticulously designed to integrate teaching with student life, foster mutual progress, and achieve synergistic educational outcomes. She emphasized that true education transcends academic excellence, prioritizing students' comprehensive and healthy growth.
