Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

‘Strong and Courageous’ for 2026

As we welcome the new year, I am delighted to share with you our theme for 2026: ‘Strong and Courageous’ drawn from 2 Timothy 1:7 ‘For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.’ This theme builds naturally upon our theme for 2025, ‘Love is in the Sunshine’, which focused on God's love and protection, and our students exercising their love for parents, siblings, teachers and friends.

Why ‘Strong and Courageous’ for 2026?

Building on the foundation of knowing God's love, the theme of ‘Strong and Courageous’ now calls our students to step forward with confidence and courage. In today's complex world, our students face numerous challenges as they navigate their learning journey, build relationships and develop their character. However, God has not given us a spirit of fear. Instead, He has given us power, love and self-control. This means our students can face any challenges with courage.

What does ‘Strong and Courageous’ look like?

When our students face a difficult test or struggle to understand a new topic, they can be strong and courageous. They do not need to fear because they are empowered and can take ownership to keep trying and to overcome challenges. With this courage, they can stay hopeful and positive even when learning feels hard.

As our students meet new classmates or teachers, they can be strong and courageous in choosing to love others. This means having the courage to get to know people who might be different from them. It means being empathetic towards them so that they will continue to learn from others' views and perspectives. When it is not always easy to be kind and understanding, they can still choose to do so. When our students do that, they help build a caring and loving school where everyone feels welcome.

With lessons in school and parents’ loving support at home, our students can be strong and courageous to be more discerning in their choice of words and actions. God has given them self-control, which means they can exercise self-discipline and take charge of their own learning. They can choose to work hard, play well and help others. They can be wise about how they spend their time and careful about how they treat people.
