Principal's Message
Chua Chu Kang Primary School (CCKPS) started operations in 1994. Today, our school has grown to be a reputable school of choice in the community. I am both humbled and privileged to be entrusted with the honour of leading CCKPS.
Our school philosophy - ‘Every child can learn; every child can lead’ - is a powerful one which propels our every thought and action. We will hold that unwavering belief in each and every child, as we help him/her to uncover his/her passion and develop to his/her fullest potential. We will continually strive to be committed to our mission to ‘bring out the best in every child’.
We will stay true to our vision of “Empowered Leaders” as we continue to nurture our students to be Confident, Creative and Competent individuals through quality learning. In our effort to ensure that our differentiated programmes cater to student needs, the school has embarked on various innovation projects, while leveraging on technology and inculcation of thinking skills into the curriculum. Some of our curriculum innovations include AFaL (Assessment For all Learners), our Applied Learning Programme (Robotics) and our Learning for Life Programme (anchored upon Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits).
A unique feature of our values education is the Growth Mindset (GM) and the “Four Powers”:
-
The power of yet: You can do anything if you put your mind to it
-
The power of choice: Make the right decisions and be responsible for your own learning
-
The power of feedback: This is a gift to help us grow
-
The power of mistakes: Mistakes hold the real key to resilience and learning
Our school also focuses on Character and Citizenship Education (CCE), aesthetics appreciation and physical education to develop our students holistically. We design meaningful VIA programmes to help our students internalise school values through authentic and experiential learning, and these efforts are enhanced through collaboration with our community and industrial partners.
As we move into a season of refinement and deepening, I am exceedingly grateful to my predecessors who have led the school, staff, partners and stakeholders who have built up CCKPS together with us. The past 7 years of steadfast effort and authentic conversations, guided by our theme of ‘Gratitude and Growth’ have reaped positive outcomes for the school, and I am excited to continue this journey with a new theme of “Transformation” for our next lap.
Guided by our motto ‘Excellence through Discipline and Diligence’, we will continue to be relentless in our mission of growing the next generation, and bring CCKPS to greater heights.
With gratitude,
Mrs Sheree Chong
