PRINCIPAL’S

MESSAGE

When asked,
“Is West Spring a

Good School?”
As the principal, I say,
“It is an Excellent school!
Come and see for yourself!”

At West Spring, we define excellence as holistic and multi-dimensional; just
as we define the successes of our students according to their many diverse
talents, and multi-faceted in their aspects and phases.
The definitions are based on our belief, that All Children Can Learn, given
the right conditions. In 2017, we implemented Subject-based Banding
(SBB) in Secondary One, with students in the Normal streams taking out-
of-stream (OOS) subjects at more demanding levels. We offered NT-to-NA
and NA-to-Express English, Chinese, Malay, Mathematics and Science. The
students are progressing well, with more students inserted into the groups
after the mid-year examination.
In addition to our students being academically-driven to deliver their best,
they also did well in their Co-curricular Activities (CCA), such as Sports and
Uniformed Groups. At the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentations, our
Aesthetics Performing Arts Groups achieved high standards. Our Display
Band played at the ASEAN Youth Games Opening Ceremony.
West Spring’s mission is to nurture Ladies and Gentlemen in Pursuit of
Excellence. We see and know Excellence when we experience it. Our students
take responsibility for their own learning, not just in studies but also for
Values-in-Action (VIA). From School Cleaning, Food Donation Drives,
to Fund-raising Bazaar, culminating in the Secondary Three Overseas VIA
and Project Touching Hearts, our students exemplify the school values of
Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Integrity and Care.
Our community rallies all stakeholders to the common school vision of
Global Citizens of Character and Learning. Our Teachers are Leaders;
Parents are Effective Partners in their children’s education. 2017 has seen
the School Advisory Committee and Parents’ Support Group grow in strength
and concerted effort towards achieving the school’s goals.
As an excellent school, West Spring is not just performing “up to standard”,
producing students who are merely competent, we provide a more expansive
view of excellence, which includes developing in students a love for learning,
critical thinking and problem-solving skills, aesthetic appreciation, and
positive inter-personal relationships. Our West Spring ladies and gentlemen
are confident, educated and cultured citizens able to participate fully and
contribute substantially in society and for the nation.
West Spring is an excellent school; a caring and learning community. It will
continue to grow and accomplish far more than expected, in the years to come.

SCHOOL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

CHAIRPERSON’S MESSAGE

I belong to a networking group founded about 20 years ago. The recent
annual networking session was not organised by the founding members but
rather the children of the founding members. When I started off in my career
and was assisting their parents, all of them in this organising committee
were still toddlers. In the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed. Even as the
next generation steps up to take over the reins of the family business, the
perennial grouse I hear from the parents is that this generation is just too soft.
I am sure you have heard of the phrase “strawberry generation”. The term
is not exactly complimentary and it refers to the generation of youths who
are unable to take hardship and “bruise easily” like strawberries.
It is undeniable that life today is not as hard as in the days when our
forefathers first set foot on this land. We did not have to deal with the
atrocities of the Second World War and the challenges in the early years
of nation building. In that sense, we never had the “privilege” of having
to endure that sort of hardship. I refer to it as a “privilege” because only
in hardship is one’s character honed. As it is often said: “When the going
gets tough, the tough get going.”
But does it mean that there are fewer opportunities to develop our character
today? Certainly not. I believe that every generation produces its own
heroes, because every generation faces new challenges. In those days, the
challenge was managing a scarcity of resources. I think the challenges that
you face today are even greater than that. You will face an attack on the
very core of your life: increasingly we see a threat to the family structure and
personal morality because of the pace of life, globalisation and the pressure
to succeed. Without these two pillars, we will cease to exist as a mankind.
So, in the midst of all the things you have to do for the day, do take a pause
and reflect. Better still, take some time to day dream. Remember to protect
the values and institutions that have brought you here.
To our dear graduating class, this generation belongs to you. Keep your feet
firmly planted on the ground but let your mind reach the highest skies. We
hope to see many heroes from your ranks.

School Advisory Committee

21 dancers started training for the Singapore
Youth Festival (SYF) 2017 Arts Presentation as
early as June 2016. 红珊蝴 (Red Corals) was re-
arranged from a traditional dance in the Shandong
Province, this dynamic dance depicts the dancers
as the red corals found in the Mediterranean ocean,
also known for its rarity and beauty. Though
susceptible to strong water currents, these corals
continue to thrive in the ocean, thus reflecting
their strength in in adversity. In addition, the
brightly coloured corals reflect passion in life,
lighting up the dark ocean bed. The dance also
serves to honour the daughters of the fishermen
for their beauty and perseverance.
Through the rigorous and demanding training, the
Chinese Dance inculcated a strong sense of self-
discipline and team spirit in each of their dancers.
