A school, as a collective group of teachers, students and parents, is indeed a fascinating blend of art and science, research and application, striving in unison to meet the needs of increasingly complex curriculum demands whilst balancing these with the imperative to create well-rounded, inspiring leaders of the future.
Whatever role our students play in the course of their lives, they will be called upon to act with honour, integrity and honesty if they hope to leave a meaningful and positive impact on the world. At Woodlands International Senior College, we believe wholeheartedly that we are the custodians of limitless potential. Whilst a firm academic grounding, provided to our students by expert teachers and gold-standard teaching models, is critical to unlocking this potential, the value of a nurturing and supportive environment can never be overlooked. As a community, with deliberate and careful guidance from our family of Directors, we are proud to promote and expect these same family values from our students. Our Campus, situated on a thriving wetland where the natural environment is protected and valued, is also alive with children who respect one another, demonstrate compassion in their actions, and work both independently and collectively towards their goals.
Our model of development acknowledges that each child will accumulate skills in a different manner and at a varied rate. This development is facilitated at Woodlands by the wide range of sporting and cultural activities offered, and also through a focus on community service aimed at cultivating the holistic development of the adolescent. We actively promote the development of well-rounded individuals through our weekly Enrichment Programme, participation in a range of Olympiads and an active House system overseen by designated Heads of House and Grades, who serve as mentors and role models. The demands of the work space in which our students will one day operate are also integrated through a variety of technology and STEAM based teaching and learning processes.
It is this comprehensive approach to regarding each child as an individual, with unique strengths and needs, that contributes to the school’s proud history of having achieved a 100% pass rate since its inception.
As the Acting Principal of the Senior College, it is indeed my privilege to spearhead an institution that offers children the benefit of an academic education that is both supportive and developmentally appropriate. I am deeply gratified to serve in an environment that allows me to measure the value of my vocation as a teacher on a daily basis, and vindicates our view that the youth of our country really do hold the future quite capably in their hands.
Mrs Justine Harvey
Principal of the Senior College
