Principal’s Message
A warm welcome to all as we commence another enriching school year at White Sands Primary School. Our commitment to providing a holistic education for our pupils remains steadfast, and since 2020, we have embraced the Positive Education journey, instilling the growth mindset skills to fortify the resilience of our pupils.
With our school vision, “Every White Sandian, a success story”, we emphasise a broaden definition of success that encompasses personal growth, character development and meaningful contributions to society.
With the changing future landscape, it is vital that we equip our students with the necessary skills required to prepare them well for the future. Our mission, “To nurture passionate learners with exemplary character who lead with a heart and contribute to society” explains our pursuit in four key areas.
‘Passionate learners’ is necessary to build the foundational knowledge, critical, adaptive and inventive skills for our pupils to extend their future learning. ‘Exemplary Character’ anchors on values necessary to imbue our students with the qualities such as resilience, compassion and civic literacy. ‘Lead with a heart’ highlights the role of service in a leader grounded in character and the right values. Lastly, ‘Contribute to society’ will help our students develop a greater sense of purpose through contributing and making positive differences to the lives of people around them.
Recognising the important role parents play in our pupils’ education, we emphasise a strong partnership between school and home. Together, we aim to create an environment where our pupils not only excel academically but also evolved into compassionate individuals. Our school motto, “Learn, Grow and Excel together!” encapsulates the spirit of collaboration that defines our educational community.
As we embark on this school year, I hope that every White Sandian will continue to harness the growth mindset to see possibilities in whatever situation they face, learn to support one another and grow to be useful and contributing persons in the community. I look forward to journeying with all of you.
