Vice Principal Administration Message

"Education is not just about preparing students for the next exam, job, or stage of life. It is about preparing them to learn for life, to adapt to change, and to contribute meaningfully to society." – Mr Chan Chun Sing, Minister for Education

Education is not just about acquiring knowledge; it is about nurturing every child to be a lifelong learner, ready to navigate the challenges of an ever-changing world.

At Ang Mo Kio Primary School, our mission is guided by clear student outcomes: to nurture confident individuals, joyful learners, and caring citizens who are prepared to contribute meaningfully to society.  I firmly believe that no one is too young to make a difference, whether within their family, school, or community.

To this end, our school provides a wide array of opportunities beyond the classroom, empowering students to grow holistically. They learn to care for themselves, practise acts of kindness, and engage meaningfully with others both in and outside of school.  It is heartening to see our students grow as they go about guiding new Primary 1 students to their classrooms, planning Values-In-Action programmes to engage residents in the Ang Mo Kio estate, confidently sharing Tamil culture with members of the public at the Mother Tongue Languages Symposium, unleashing their creativity by collaborating with teachers and a local artist to co-create the “Deforestation” mural along our classroom block. These experiences embody the learning and growth we aspire for them to achieve.

This, however, cannot be accomplished by the school alone. I believe that education is a collaborative effort that thrives on strong partnerships between parents, educators, and the wider school community. Together with our Parent Support Group, we strive to create a nurturing environment where every child feels supported, inspired, and empowered to explore their potential. By working hand in hand, we establish the structures and processes necessary to provide holistic support for all our students, empowering them to navigate the challenges of an ever-changing world.

Sincerely,

Ms Alethea Liew
Vice-Principal Administration
