校长致辞 Principal's Message

From the Principal’s Desk

Welcome to Red Swastika School!

It is my joy and privilege to welcome you to our Red Swastika School family. Founded by the World Red Swastika Society in 1951 as an extension of its charitable mandate, our school was established with the objective of transforming lives through education. This founding mission continues to inspire us today, shaping our commitment to nurturing learning, growth, and service to the community.

As we honour our heritage, we also look ahead to the future our students will thrive. To prepare our students for a rapidly changing world, our revised school vision aspires for every child to be part of a Caring Community and to grow as Lifelong Learners, Glocal Citizens, and Innovative Leaders. These elements reflect both our heritage and our forward-looking aspirations. Caring Community and Innovative Leaders echo our founders' emphasis on compassion and transformative education, whilst Lifelong Learners and Glocal Citizens emphasise the competencies needed in today's interconnected world—where adaptability, curiosity, and the ability to navigate global perspectives whilst staying rooted in Singapore are essential.

Our shared aspirations are grounded in our revised school motto, “恭宽信敏惠”, a timeless teaching inspired by the wisdom of Confucius more than 2,000 years ago (a short video on the launch of our revised school motto). This timeless wisdom underpins our belief that every RSS student can cultivate 仁 (benevolence/compassion) through the practice of five enduring values:

These values are deeply embedded in our daily interactions, guiding the way we learn, work, and grow as a school community.

At the heart of everything we do lies our RSS Philosophy and Beliefs :-

These beliefs anchor us as we navigate an increasingly complex world. They remind us to embrace inclusive perspectives, celebrate every child’s individuality, and give our very best in nurturing the diverse learners entrusted to our care.

卍慈的孩子是特选的孩子。As a Special Assistance Plan school, we are blessed with the responsibility of nurturing students who are confidently bilingual and who appreciate the richness of the Chinese culture. Just as importantly, we want our students to grow into gracious individuals who value diversity and contribute meaningfully to a more caring and inclusive society.

In raising our 卍慈的孩子, we are never alone. We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support of our parents, alumni, partners, and community. Your trust strengthens our mission, and your partnership empowers us to continue shaping brighter futures for every child who walks through our doors.

Here at Red Swastika School, we cherish our heritage and the stories that have shaped who we are today. As you explore our website, I hope you feel the warmth of our community and the spirit that makes RSS a special place for children to learn, grow, and thrive.

Together, let us continue writing new and meaningful chapters in the Red Swastika School story.

Warm regards,

Mr Lim Meng Wei
Principal
