Philosophy

PHILOSOPHY – Impact Through Education

Over the years, Maria Regina Grade School has been able to maintain an excellent reputation in the academic field. This school represents the traditional values of “reading, writing and arithmetic’. With that kind of solid foundation, its students have excelled at the Common Entrance exam, which has been phased out and in the Secondary Entrance Assessment exam which has replaced it.
At Maria Regina, the traditional values of discipline and respect remain strong. The staff is a dedicated group of teachers who understand the ethos of the school and who relate closely with the parent community. As a result, the teachers have acknowledged and accepted the challenges of preparing their young charges for the 21st Century environment.
As a Catholic School, Maria Regina Grade School instills in its students the significance of respect for traditional Catholic values. Thus, it is anticipated that the students will develop respect and love for God and country.

MISSION & VISION

Mission Statement
“To be aware of the uniqueness of each person.
We strive to love, respect and educate each child in our school.”

Introduction

Over the past fifty-five (55) years of Maria Regina Grade School’s existence, the focus has been on providing an exceptional educational programme, with a strong religious component for all of its students.
This strategic plan will provide the focus for staff and parents as the school continues to carry on its commitment to providing the best educational programme possible for its children.

Context

Maria Regina Grade School has a culture of academic excellence and pastoral care.
Student achievement, as measured by standardised test results (Common Entrance and SEA), reflects passes and placement in 80-90% first choice schools.
From Infants One through Grade Five, students enjoy individual attention and special enrichment classes.
The school recognises that its strength lies in its teaching staff. Effective teachers make a difference in students’ learning; hence teachers need to be attentive and responsive to different learning styles and needs. Teacher training and development are seen as essential for the meaningful execution of their duties. This plan will therefore focus on motivating teachers to seek and seize professional development opportunities that will result in enhanced learning opportunities of students.
As we move forward, we envision our children becoming curious and excited about discovery and learning, becoming critical thinkers who are more actively engaged in learning, thereby maximising their potential and bringing about the very best in their academic and overall achievement.
