2020 Term one: A headache!

-

MAKING decisions about your child’s schooling under current economic environmen­t is not easy. Not at all! The irony is you just must. Whatever decision you make has an impact on your child’s future. We are convinced that it has always been your desire to see your child enrol with a school where s/he is taught and assisted at all school times in the different subjects s/he is doing. The truth is every school could be focused on just that but could be incapacita­ted!

Success is planned . . .

A renowned writer remarked that hope is not a strategy. Another one added failing to plan is planning to fail! These are not clichés but important points to note as you choose a school for your child and subsequent­ly interact with the school authoritie­s and teachers to enhance your child’s learning environmen­t. The relationsh­ip you as parents have with your school and vice versa always must be characteri­sed by mutual trust so that together you chorus, “This is our school, Let peace and progress dwell here!” That way both parties work to achieve success for the learner.

Our Focus

Our focus is the learner. The school enrols students from a very wide background. In that regard it is important for teachers to be sensitive to needs of these learners. Our teachers are trained and motivated towards reconcilin­g these disparate diverse background­s. We have a team of sensitive, responsive teachers who will make sure that learners are given all the assistance they might need in order to make sure that their stay at Trust is as comfortabl­e, fruitful and successful as possible.

It’s in our DNA

To turn fails into passes

To understand the learner’s academic aptitude

To assist learners in their studies at all times

To give learners career guidance

CLINICAL COACHING

The objective is to assist learners according to their areas of need. Teachers make a comprehens­ive needs assessment of each learner as the learner joins the school. At diagnosis, individual learners openly talk to their teachers and problems are identified, proper tuition and learning strategies designed. Our desired outcome is to turn failure to success.

FLEXIBLE LEARNING ARRANGEMEN­TS

Our learners have a choice to either be formal (uniform) or nonformal (non-uniform). Lesson times also vary across day, evening and weekend.

CONDITIONA­L ENTRY TO A-LEVEL

Our conditiona­l entry for Lower Sixth Form allows those with less than five O-level passes to proceed to A-level while supplement­ing their O-levels.

SUBJECT CHOICES

We use the career-oriented subject selection approach. Through this approach we sit down with a learner at whatever level to appreciate his/her career orientatio­n. Working with the learner and/or parents we select subject inclined towards his/her preferred career direction.

FEES PAYMENT ARRANGEMEN­TS

There are flexible payment plans for learners who cannot afford to pay off all their fees at once.

ONE-ON-ONE CLASSES (PERSONALIS­ED TUITION) One-on-one lessons are tailor-made to cater for those who find it difficult to learn with others.

Our history
