Our Belief In Every Child

Philosophy

CREating Student Transformation (CREST)

At Crest Secondary School, our teachers firmly believe that our students have the potential to realise their aspirations, regardless of their backgrounds. We are also cognisant of our students’ diverse learning needs and socio-economic profile, and are committed to equipping them to succeed in school and in life.

The primary objective of the Crest Teaching and Learning Philosophy (TLP) is to guide our teachers in facilitating the transformation of our students into individuals who are grounded in sound character and equipped with the skills for academic progression, employment and adulthood. As our teachers have varied professional experiences, our Crest TLP articulates our professional beliefs and practices as educators to achieve alignment to our school mission.

Beliefs

Our Fundamental Beliefs about our students influence the way we interact with them, which in turn influences how our students perceive themselves and relate to others, their attitude towards school and their sense of self-worth.

The core value undergirding our Fundamental Beliefs is the care for our students. When we care for our students, we affirm their self-worth, assure them that they are important to us, and commit ourselves to helping them ride the crest of personal transformation and improvement. Our teachers also embrace a growth mindset towards teaching our students by setting high, realistic expectations. With hard work and perseverance and support from the teachers, our students will be able to succeed.
