Newsletter Final Term 2015-2016

Message from Managing Director

To the Scholastica family,

The end of the year is upon us and as ever, it has been a productive, eventful and inspirational
year. I want to start by thanking every member of our community for their hard work and dedica-
tion over the year – it really does take a village to raise a child and we could not have achieved
our goals without the cooperation of every member of our community – parents, teachers,
management, non-management, alums and students.

This has been a good year for our students as they have performed well in many arenas—sports
tournaments, plays and cultural events, foreign trips and conferences, field trips and expeditions,
academic competitions and Olympiads. We take the development of passions and talents of
each individual student as part of our responsibility in Scholastica, and pride ourselves on the
wide range of opportunities that we can provide—so that every student feels they have the
chance to learn more in areas of their interest, seek out those who share common interests, and
develop passions that can last a lifetime.

Of course, this is not to suggest that we ignore academics in Scholastica; our excellent results in
every O’ and A’ level exam is a testament to that! Our educational philosophy is based on a
student-centered approach to learning, where students are given the independence and space to
make choices, work together, problem-solve, research and think for themselves. We want to
develop students who ask questions and think critically, who don’t take information at face value,
and who are confident to tackle problems and challenges. We want them to be able to manage
their own time, and exercise self-discipline and self-control – essential skills for success in life.
This means that sometimes we have to allow students to struggle (rather than spoon-feed them)
because it is through struggle and hard work that real learning takes place.
