St Andrews Junior College Educational Philosophy and Framework

In St Andrews Junior College, we believe in providing a holistic education that aims to nurture exemplary character and the talents of Saints so that they can contribute to nation-building and become powerful agents in creating a better future for all. The SAJC Educational Framework takes cognizance of research into 21st century skills, the Ministry of Educations 2015 Competencies as well as the characteristics of servant leadership necessary for developing Saints who will be a blessing to their community.

Academics Qualities of Saints

Exemplary Character Skilled Communicator Holistic Thinker Community Builder

To enable every Saint to grow as Servant Leader, four foundational domains for leadership development in the Saints have been identified - Exemplary Character, Holistic Thinker, Skilled Communicator and Community Builder. These qualities will be the defining signature of the Mark of a Saint; they are also the driving impetus for the achievements of the Saints in their pursuit of academic excellence and the development of their talents in Talent Development Programmes (TDP) in both curricular and co-curricular arenas.

 Exemplary Character

The Mark of a Saint

Servant Leadership differs from most other leadership models by virtue of the fact that it focuses on serving others before all else. Character development is the bedrock upon which all the other qualities are built upon. In SAJC, character education comprises Social Emotional Learning (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management and responsible decision making) and the internalisation of the College values, WISE (Wonder, Integrity, Self-Discipline and Excellence) and TRUE (Thanksgiving, Resilience, Unity and Empathy) in the lives of the Saints. These values are inculcated in Moral Education and Civics lessons, Scripture Readings, Chapel, and Co-curricular Activities and Programmes. However, the most powerful mode of learning for being an exemplary character is through role-modelling and seizing teachable moments in our daily interactions with students.

Holistic Thinker
The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men. - John Dewey It is widely agreed by educators and philosophers that the paramount purpose of education is to develop thinking individuals with a heart who can make good decisions in their lives and work. The "Holistic Thinker" is defined as one who makes good judgements by considering the big picture, innovates and provides practical solutions, and envisions the future and is prepared flexibly for it. The 4 dimensions in Holistic Thinking advocated in SAJC are: Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Caring Thinking and Forward Thinking All lessons and activities in SAJC have clear objectives which include the thinking skills to be taught or reinforced.

 Skilled Communicator
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. - Proverbs 25:11 Effective and skilful communication is widely regarded as being the most important leadership skill and a core ingredient for personal and work success. Knowing the right thing to say and how to say it determines our leadership potential and ability to achieve positive outcomes. To communicate effectively, we have to learn how to deploy our words, tone of voice, emotions and body language to connect with others. It is also the glue that holds our relationships together. Effective communication includes speaking, writing and listening with genuineness, respect and clarity. It involves the use of different modes of communication such as drama and art, as well as information technology to enhance the quality of communication. In SAJC, we strongly believe in honing the communication skills of our staff and students in the instructional and co-curricular programmes. More than polishing the communication techniques through speech training and practice, we are mindful that the way we communicate reveals who we are as Saints. We aspire that every member of the St Andrews community be gracious in speech and seek to edify one another in the challenges we face and new heights we scale together.

Community Builder
Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself. -John Dewey Community building is defined as an ongoing process where members of a community share skills, talents, knowledge and experiences that strengthen or develop themselves and the community they belong to. A community builder actively takes actions aimed at problem solving and enriching lives, and strengthening relationships in their community. Nurturing Saints to be community builders empowers them to become responsible adults who will continue to contribute to their communities, workplaces and the nation in the future. They will become Saints who embrace a life-long passion for serving others. As future leaders of the country, Saints must be energised to desire to make effective changes for the better and contribute to the society. To be an effective community builder, every Saint needs to have a genuine interest and sincere concern for people and acquire a deep understanding of cultural and global literacies in order to reach out and engage both local and international friends.
3

In SAJC, we believe that No one is here by chance. Everyone therefore has a unique role to play in the College and in touching one anothers lives. To create a positive culture and a conducive environment for learning and relationship building, every member of the SAJC community is responsible for creating a caring and nurturing environment for learning and working. Every one is expected to participate in service learning and community involvement programmes locally and/or overseas. In addition, international exchange programmes are also organised for Saints in the academic, sports and aesthetic arenas to develop cultural literacy and for enrichment.

Curriculum

Academics

Besides developing the essential knowledge, skills and behaviours required for our Saints to continue to post-JC studies, the Colleges formal and informal curriculum aims to develop the Saints in 4 identified Qualities: Exemplary Character, Holistic Thinker, Skilled Communicator and Community Builder. The following key teaching and learning domains own and drive programmes to develop these 4 Qualities in the Saints:

 Pedagogy
5 Is Framework The action plans of all departments are designed using the 5Is framework. The framework emphasises the importance of academic excellence, identifies issues involved and strategies to be used, leverages on significant others, peers and tutors to influence students, uses different forms of motivation, reward and recognition to ignite students passion to learn and identifies indicators of success. Research-informed Classroom practices The College uses Action Research and Lesson Studies to ascertain the effectiveness of new pedagogies. Lesson observations by department leaders provide useful feedback to subject tutors on their teaching and learning processes. Analysis of feedback from students through subject-based surveys and student Focus Group Discussions are used to review the teaching and learning processes, and to ensure that whats taught is learnt well. Teachers keep abreast of current effective practices and share their knowledge with one another during Professional Development Time and Professional Sharing Days and Retreats. Beyond the College, the professional sharing and learning continues between the JCs and in conferences. Differentiated learning The College caters to the different abilities of pupils via differentiated learning programmes. Departments innovate and employ various methods to deliver their Instructional Programmes. Learning opportunities beyond the classrooms, such as end-of-year work attachment and learning journeys are also provided for students. Outstanding students are selected for special educational experiences offered in Talent Development Programmes (TDP).

Assessment
Formative Assessment The College uses formative assessment such as class tests, practical tests, oral examinations and presentations, mock examinations and Milestone Assessments (MSA) to monitor students performance. Teachers use the information and results gleaned from these assessments to review and design appropriate learning strategies to improve student learning. In addition, the students answers are analysed for their learning as well.

With all the distractions that students face during their difficult teenage years, home support is crucial in determining students success. Parents are therefore advised on their childs academic progress and other aspects of their childs development. This partnership with parents is key in enabling the students to perform at their peak in the GCE A-Level Examination. Summative Assessment To assess the effectiveness of student learning on a termly basis, the College uses summative assessments such as common tests, block tests, final examination and preliminary examination as well as the GCE A-Level Examination. These assessment modes enable teachers to assess the learning of the students for decision making with regard to assignment to special programmes and eligibility for promotion or higher education.

Talent Development Programmes

In accordance to Howard Gardners multiple intelligences theory, the Talent Development Programme in SAJC has been organised to include leadership, scholastic, and sports and aesthetic talents. Scholars and top students are identified to join the TDP. These programmes include enrichment courses, Student Leadership Camp, Overseas Community Involvement Programmes, Work Shadowing attachments, educational talks and overseas exchange programmes. Overseas exchange programmes to Germany and England are organised for Saints to engage with their peers in these countries intellectually, culturally and socially. The potential of the high ability students is stretched by preparing them for academicbased competitions. In addition, these students are encouraged to offer H3 subjects. Since 2009, the Arts Department initiated the St Andrews Humanities Scholarship Programme for outstanding students who had done well in the Humanities subjects in GCE O-Level Examination. The St Andrews Science Scholarship Programme was launched to provide for the exceptional students in the Sciences since 2010. Besides enriching the curriculum with unique educational experiences, one of the aims of these Scholarship programmes is to prepare the Saints for top scholarships offered by the government ministries and public organisations.

H1 Project Work Subject Code: 8809 Course Objectives Project Work (PW) is a learning experience which aims to provide students with the opportunity to synthesise knowledge from various areas of learning, and critically and creatively apply it to real life situations. This process which enhances students knowledge and enables them to acquire skills like collaboration, communication and independent learning prepares them for lifelong learning and the challenges ahead. Learning Outcomes of Project Work The learning outcomes identify the key areas of learning of the subject. Four learning outcomes are separately articulated: knowledge application, communication, collaboration and independent learning. While students learn to work in groups, they will also learn independently through self-reflection and evaluation of their own work processes. These learning outcomes exist in dynamic interplay rather than as compartmentalized and distinct categories. The following are the learning outcomes of PW: Knowledge Application Students will acquire the ability to make links across different areas of knowledge and to generate, develop and evaluate ideas and information so as to apply these skills to the project task. Communication Students will acquire the skills to communicate effectively and to present ideas clearly and coherently to a specific audience in both the written and oral forms. Collaboration Students will acquire collaborative skills through working in a team to achieve common goals. Independent Learning Students will be able to learn on their own, reflect on their learning and take appropriate action to improve it.

Objectives of Assessment The assessment in PW aims to measure the extent to which the students have achieved the expected learning outcomes. During the course, the students have to demonstrate their ability, individually and as a group, by applying the knowledge learned to develop a project task.

23

Students will be assessed in the following areas: Knowledge Application Candidates are expected to demonstrate the ability to generate, develop and evaluate ideas and information so as to apply these skills as they carry out a project task. Communication Candidates are expected to demonstrate the ability to present ideas clearly and coherently to a specific audience in both the written and oral forms.

NOTE: Collaboration and Independent Learning are not assessed. Scheme of Assessment Candidates are required to complete the following 3 compulsory papers: Paper 1: Written Report Knowledge Application (Product) Produce a Written Report of 2500 to 3000 words on the project. Paper 2: Oral Presentation Communication Give an Oral Presentation on the project and answer questions posed by the assessors. Paper 3: Group Project File Knowledge Application (Process) Submit a Group Project File comprising the following 3 submissions by individual candidates: Preliminary Ideas (PI), Evaluation of relevant print/non-print Material (EoM), Insights and Reflections (I&R).

Physical Education Physical education is an integral aspect of St Andrews Junior Colleges belief in developing all-rounded individuals who are ready to live and work in an increasingly globalised world. As such, physical education and the annual National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA) is a compulsory component of the curriculum.

General Aims 1. To provide students opportunities to fully develop the physical, psychomotor, cognitive and affective domains of physical education. 2. To nurture in students a sound and positive attitude towards lifetime sports participation, independent maintenance of physical fitness and the skills & knowledge needed to live a healthy lifestyle. 3. To provide students opportunities to develop the knowledge and skills needed to appreciate the aesthetic value of physical activity and movement. Objectives The main objectives are to ensure that: 1. Every student maintains an acceptable level of physical fitness. 2. All students receive training towards meeting the standards of the NAPFA Test. The NAPFA is conducted annually from April and is compulsory for all students except those certified medically unfit to take the test. 3. Every student will be given the opportunity to participate in games, attend sports/health talks, and be able to value and enjoy physical activities. 4. Students are able to appreciate and use the cognitive skills involved whilst engaged in physical activity. 5. Students will be given the opportunities for positive self-expression, and to develop various qualities and a competitive spirit. 6. All students who represent the College at National Inter-School competitions exhibit a high standard of sportsmanship and the pursuit of excellence.

60

There are specific regulations governing the conduct of physical education. These are: 1. Attendance will be taken at all PE sessions. Absentees must provide to their PE teacher at the earliest opportunity, proper document (e.g. medical certificates) to support their absenteeism, and may have to make up for missed PE lessons. 2. 3. Only students with valid medical certificates will be exempted from PE lesson. Students wishing to excuse themselves from PE lessons must report to their PE teachers in advance to seek permission. 4. Students who are excused from PE lessons must remain in the designated location during PE lessons. 5. Students not properly attired for PE lessons will be considered as being absent. They may then have to make up for their absence on stipulated days assigned by the PE Department. Only the official college PE T-shirt and shorts are accepted as proper PE attire. 6. Student representatives of various CCAs are not exempted from PE lessons unless their respective CCA teachers-in-charge have sought specific permission on their behalf from HOD PE/CCA.

Weight Management Programme The height and weight of all students are measured at least twice a year. Students who are found to be not within the accepted weight range will be enrolled in our Weight Management Programme. Students whose BMI-for-age is in the 90th percentile and above will attend compulsory morning runs twice a week on the days stipulated by their PE teacher. Underweight students will receive support, education and such intervention

measures as deemed necessary.

Once enrolled in the Colleges Weight Management Programme, a students attendance for all activities of the programme is compulsory and takes priority over all CCA activities.

A student graduates from the Colleges Weight Management Programme when he achieves his acceptable BMI.
