School Philosophy, Culture and Ethos

Commonwealth Secondary School (CWSS) believes that students learn best and are most fulfilled when the school nurtures every aspect of their person, and provides rich and authentic learning environments. As such, CWSS offers students our unique "C3" Curriculum. This comprises an innovative Character Education programme which emphasises Servant Leadership and Growth Mindset to instill strong values and productive habits, grounded in the school's WEALTH values (Warmth, Enterprise, Adventurousness, Loyalty, Tenacity and Honour). The school also offers a well-established programme of academic content, which applies principles of Differentiated Instruction to support students of differing needs to master key skills and concepts for each subject, and provides them with opportunities to apply their knowledge in authentic ways. In addition, the school has also implemented a school-wide approach to encouraging Creativity which aims to give every student hands-on opportunities to express and nurture their creative ability, through avenues such as programming, robotics, design, as well as our outstanding visual and performing arts programmes.
