Our Motto

The following is adapted from a message by our late founder and principal of the school, Rev. Bro. J. Chanel.

Confucius said that if a person was idle and unconscientious, it would be difficult to educate him. St. Paul once wrote: " If anyone will not work, let him not eat. " A person who is idle and who does not want to labour with his hands or mind will not be successful in his life. Hard work is the key to success and the way to happiness and truth.

If a person is hardworking but not intelligent, he will acquire wisdom if he is willing to try his best. When we are faced with difficulties, we must always remind ourselves and others that God is always near and will always guide us. Through one's own determination and God's grace, we will definitely overcome our problems.

We should strive for sincerity towards others and devotion to our duty. We must endeavour to do the best in all that we do. We must fulfil our obligations and duties towards our neighbours, country, society and the Almighty God without shirking responsibility. This spirit of loyalty and dedication will result in the spirit of self-sacrifice.

Those who have the courage to face difficulties and challenges will be successful in life. Courage also means giving way to those who have better ideas. Sometimes, it is standing up for what is right, even to those in authority. Use your patience, determination and courage to do good deeds. When in a fix, look positively for solutions until you have solved your problems. Life is a continuous struggle and strive. Only those who can persevere till the end will have eternal happiness in life.

Our School Motto: Diligence (qin), Determination (mian), Loyalty and Dedication (zhong), Courage (yong)
