1. School Vision and Mission

Marymount Primary School aims to provide quality education. According to our Catholic and cultural traditions, we aim at the greater development of our students in moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual aspects.

Through care and concern for each individual person, we seek to form our students in such a way that

1. their acquisition of knowledge and skills is joined to Christian values; 2. they will become reflective and will accept their strengths and weaknesses; 3. they will come to the knowledge of God and put Christian values into practice; 4. they are sensitive to the needs of others, especially the poor; 5. they fulfill the role in serving others to build a just and compassionate society.

To achieve our Vision and Mission, Our Team of Teachers and Support Staff are

M-iracle Workers who work with

P-assion and

S-erve with Smiles.

With teachers as their role-models, students of Marymount will learn to be

C-aring

L-oving and

C-ompassionate.

With continued support from their Parents, students of Marymount will grow into

Integrated Persons of Wisdom as they learn life-long and work for the Greater Glory of God.

3. Our Core Purpose

* ’Magis’– The yardstick of Ignatius was always to undertake that which was ‘the better choice’, ‘the more effective enterprise’, ‘the more widely influential’, ‘meeting the greater need’, not simply because such a course was harder, but

because it would yield the ’greater good’ or be more loving. This is the essence of the magis. (‘Ignatius Loyola – Spirit and Practice for Today’. Second Edition, Edited by Martin Scroope. 2003 TECprint)

4. Our Aspirations It is with much hope that we continue to walk the journey of team building, leadership and empowerment as we live St. Ignatius’ spirit of magis – Latin, for ‘more’, to ensure day-to-day quality learning and teaching.

Since 2012, Teachers have contributed substantially to Reflection in groups and S-W-O-T analysis at the Subject Panel level respectively. This was altogether made possible by the capable leadership of our former MPS Principal, Mrs. Julie Ma, and our SSE Team members, and with the expert guidance of our Guest Speaker-Facilitator, Dr. K.C. Pang. Teachers also co-constructed the ‘MPS Teaching Philosophy’ to ensure quality learning and teaching processes in 2012. The Philosophy is summarized in the following 5 adjectives:

Effective

(Lesson)

Motivating

(Process)

Interactive

(Process)

Inspiring

(Process)

Reflective

(Learner/Teacher)

The MPS Teaching Philosophy Puzzle (Nov 2012)

To further enhance our Values Education development as well as Learning and Teaching processes, we worked out our new direction of School Development Plan. This Annual School Plan has grown from evaluation, reflection and planning conversations among Subject Panels and Functional Teams, as well as feedback from our Stakeholders.

Initial strategies and tasks planned for implementation have addressed our Major Concerns:

Enhance the framework for the Whole-School Approach to Values Education

and

Unleash our students’ potential to become MPS Thinkers, MPS Makers and MPS Presenters
