Principal's Message
It is great to know VSBEC. During the past few months I had the opportunity to interact with quite many students, the staff and some parents. I salute all those teachers who zealously labour to nurture the students in the VSBEC way!
The school has a unique role to play in the formation of a child. However, I believe that parents are the primary educators of their children and that the school can only assist them. Family is the first school. School can only build on the foundations laid by parents. It is in the family that children learn to develop self-esteem, self-confidence and the many basic human and social values. School can do is to build on the foundations which the home and parents have already laid. Therefore the importance of good family life can never be gainsaid. Home and school, parents and teachers need to be collaborators in the mission of 'educating' our children. We need to play a complementary role.
My hope is that parents would be able to spend quality time with their children, helping them to make sense of their desires and experiences, always upholding time tested values and principles. Let us join hands and equip our children with a meaningful education, which provides time and space for the education of their mind, heart and spirit.
I wish to acknowledge gratefully the hard work put in by our editorial board in keeping track of events and presenting a comprehensive picture of what has transpired in the school during the past months.
With good wishes and God Bless to the students, their families and all those who support the educational mission at VSBEC,
