CORE VALUE- KAIZEN
Kaizen (改善), derived from the Japanese concept of “continuous improvement,” where “Kai” means “change” and “Zen” means “good” or “better.” It is a guiding principle that fosters a culture of ongoing growth, collaboration, and excellence in all aspects of school life. In the context of education, Kaizen emphasises incremental progress in learning, teaching practices, and school operations to achieve holistic development.

As a core value in a school, Kaizen encourages:
- Students to adopt a growth mindset, striving for steady improvement in academics, skills, and character through consistent effort and self-reflection.
- TEachers to refine their pedagogical methods, embrace innovation, and continuously enhance the learning experience.
- Staff and Leadership to streamline processes, optimise resources, and foster an environment of collaboration and efficiency.
By embedding Kaizen into its culture, the school ensures that every stakeholder—students, educators, and the community—works together to create a dynamic, innovative, and resilient educational environment where small, consistent steps lead to transformative results.

It is a philosophy and practice focused on making small, incremental changes to processes, systems, or habits to improve efficiency, quality, and overall performance.
