Core values are the foundation of a strong and thriving primary school, shaping the character, behavior, and mindset of students from an early age. We believe that education goes beyond academics—it is about building responsible, respectful, and compassionate individuals who contribute positively to society. By instilling values such as Faith in God, Justice, Truthfulness and Personal Integrity, Respectful, Service, Synergic Co-Operation and Intellectual Competence, we create an environment where students feel safe, inspired, and motivated to learn. These values guide their decision-making, foster meaningful relationships, and instill a lifelong love for learning and growth.
Faith in God
Claretines shall come to recognise that there is an Absolute Being to whom they belong and
in whose love they live, move, and have their being. A loving, genuine and creative faith
shall come to permeate their life choices.
Justice
Having come to believe that they belong to God, Claretines shall come to appreciate the need
for justice in their relationships and in society. They shall work towards the realisation and
furtherance of justice in their personal lives and in society.
Truthfulness and Personal Integrity
Claretines shall uphold Truthfulness and Personal Integrity in their lives and choices. Truth
may hurt but it eventually heals and gives life.
Respectful
In their fourfold relationship - to God, nature, fellow human beings, and oneself - they shall
have an attitude of respect and reverence. For the whole creation manifests the handiwork of
God.
Service
Claretines shall commit themselves to study and undergo professional training for the ultimate
purpose of placing their skills and lives at the service of their fellow human beings and the
society.
Synergic Co-Operation
Claretines shall prize cooperation and synergic collaboration in groups for the realisation of
goals. Any healthy competition shall be supplemented by cooperation that is synergic
[mutually enhancing and productive]. Personal glory-oriented competition is not a Claretine
value.
Intellectual Competence
Every Claretine shall strive to the best of their ability to achieve intellectual competence,
which would equip them to realise the creation of a civilization of love.
