School Vision.
Today I was reading the Joint Admission Exercise form that my younger brother had brought back after his O Level results. I was highly amused by my alma mater's vision written on the Joint Admission Exercise form:
- Enhance and educate for the spiritual and moral dimensions of life
I remembered those moral education classes, where we copied homework.
- Nurture independent, collaborative and innovative learners
Independent? Definitely! Depended on ourselves to understand coursework, as we skipped too much lectures.
Collaborative? Of course...we had a collaborative tutorial copying network.
Innovative? Had a friend who skipped classes and never handed in homework, but yet won the geography prize. Teachers had nothing good to say about him..and so...they said they he had a rather interesting way of approaching lessons...
- Strengthen social responsibility
Every Friday after school, different classes has a roster to clean up the school surroudings. It was a disguise to save on cleaning costs. Having said that, we deserved it ... as most of the students there graffitied using liquid paper on the lecture tables out of boredom. Amongst the most prominent:
1. "Top 10 Girls" on the lecture table
2. In response, a "Top 10 Guys" on the lecture table
3. Sketch of the principal in a bikini
4. Being a mission school, vandalised in the toilet:
"God do not exist - Axxx".
A few spaces down was another response:
"Axxx will not exist long either - God"
5. And my personal fav, which I am proud to have graffitied:
"Please do not vandalise".
- Pursue character building in all its forms
All those torturous weekly Monday morning boring assembly one hour lectures delivered by an old fashioned fat nun definitely builds patience and character.
- Build a strong community for all
Hmmm .... we had a strong community all right. We had different communities:
1. Community of canoeist hunks with huge biceps with equally huge ego
2. Community of geeks that meets every Friday to play Magic:the Gathering card game
3. Community of cool dudes of which I was not a part of =)
4. Community of dudes that skip classes of which I was the president.
And the list goes on...
