Vision

WOMEN OF INTEGRITY WITH THE PASSION TO PURSUE EXCELLENCE

Mission

The mission of an Infant Jesus Convent is the creation of a Christ-centred school community where all work together for the promotion of truth, justice, freedom and love, with special reference to the needs of persons who are disadvantaged in any way.

Philosophy

We believe our students possess talents and will experience success. SJC is where we develop our girls' moral character (values-driven) and performance character (value-adding). Our goal is for our girls to embody the values of Love, Integrity and Freedom, and to grow as Engaged and Empowered learners, Effective leaders, and Eloquent individuals with strong Ethics (LIFE4). We provide a vibrant Aesthetics curriculum, and an extensive Differentiated Leadership Programme for all our students.

Sdp

Our Applied Learning Programme (ALP), 'The Art of Communication through Theatre and Debates', uses a values-centred approach to deepen our girls' creativity, reflective-thinking and communication skills via a layered curriculum that integrates the arts, the languages and the humanities. Through the analysis of social issues and the validation of aesthetics skills, this ALP supports our aim to nurture articulate and confident students who are women of integrity. Our Learning for Life Programme (LLP), Thinking for Life Using the Future Problem Solving Model (FPSM), aims to broaden students' critical and creative thinking skills through the active discussion and engagement of the community in issues and problems that students have identified. This approach seeks to deepen students' perspective-taking skills, empathy and social entrepreneurship to prepare them for active, engaged citizenship in a global world. In line with SJC's emphasis on Performance and Moral Character-Building, SJC's Differentiated Leadership Programme is adapted from the Kouzes and Posner's Leadership Challenge Model and MacGregor's Everyday Leadership Model to ensure that every SJCian has extensive opportunities to develop her leadership skills to develop strong moral values.
