Principal's Address

We are glad to be moving towards an improving sense of normalcy this year. Although we are unable to absolutely put COVID-19 behind us, we can definitely say that we have weathered it and are learning to live with it each day.

Looking back at the last two years, the crisis has opened up opportunities for Assumption English School. COVID-19 has forced us to innovate in our areas of pedagogy, curriculum and assessment, and enabled us to provide choices for our students to learn on their own.

As a pilot Full Subject Based Banding (FSBB) school, we have now established our own Self Development Programme (SDP) to complement FSBB especially for students who do not have access to higher demanding subjects. The SDP encourages our students to have greater ownership of their learning by leveraging on their personal learning device and online resources that are specially created and curated to extend their learning based on their choice. Therefore, our Lower Secondary Normal Stream students now have the option to choose higher demanding subjects which are non-examinable - such as English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities (including Literature) - based on their own interest. The SDP also includes our Secondary Two Express Stream students as they have an opportunity to try out “taster modules” of Additional Mathematics and Upper Secondary Sciences. We hope the programme will engage our students and help them make informed choices about their subject-combination at Secondary Three. The SDP is a fascinating initiative in which students make choices and learn at their own pace, in their own time without the pressure of exams.

We are also privileged and pleased to be part of the “Unleash the Roar” programme of the Singapore Football Association as a School Football Academy. We are grateful for the three full-time coaches dedicated to coaching our students. Furthermore, there is also specialised goalkeeper training and sports science support to monitor the progress of our students. Thanks to such comprehensive support from FAS, we are now in a position to redeploy our resources to strengthen our other school and CCA programmes.

At the same time, everything we do rests upon the beliefs and values of our founder, Saint Louis Marie de Montfort. The message of being “less about oneself and more for others” - to serve the last, lost and the least - continues to give teachers, staff and students an ever growing sense of purpose.

As we move forward as a school, we believe in the loving hands of God that guide us; that His mercy will protect us as we bring out the best in our students and ourselves.
