At 蹤獲鱉鱉 Christian School, we place significant importance on ensuring that all students, including those receiving bursaries, are fully integrated into our school community. We achieve this primarily through a commitment to confidentiality and by fostering an environment of equal opportunity and participation.
Our approach is founded on the principle that bursary information is strictly confidential from the broader school community. This means that staff, other students, and parents are not privy to which families are receiving financial assistance. This measure ensures that all students are treated equally and can access the same opportunities without any perceived differentiation based on their financial circumstances.
We offer bursaries, rather than scholarships, because we believe that all children are valued as being made in the image of God, not based on their specific gifts or abilities. Our core mission is to make Christian education accessible to as many families as possible, and bursaries serve as a means to achieve this affordability. The application process for bursaries is confidential, typically involving a discussion with the school about the family's financial situation.
Furthermore, all students, regardless of their bursary status, are actively encouraged to engage in the wide array of co-curricular activities available. These non-teaching programs, which include sport, dance, music, performing arts, and outdoor education, are designed to enhance students' personal development, character, and overall well-being. By participating in these activities, students develop crucial communication and teamwork skills, learn to navigate challenges, and connect with their peers and teachers outside the traditional classroom setting.
This broad engagement is considered vital for fostering a strong sense of belonging and ensuring comprehensive integration within the school's vibrant community.
Ultimately, the bursary program strengthens our school community by reflecting our commitment to collective care and shared responsibility, ensuring that families remain connected to the school, particularly when facing financial hardship.
