Dear Parents,
It is an honour to serve the Soong Ching Ling School community as the new Primary Principal of the International Division. I deeply value the rich history, values, and identity of our school, which are rooted in the vision of Mme. Soong Ching Ling. Together, our dedicated teaching team and wider school community are committed to empowering compassionate and curious learners who build a caring community, lead with empathy, and contribute to a better world. At the heart of my philosophy is the belief that every child can succeed when nurtured by caring teachers in an inclusive environment. When children feel safe, happy, and heard, they flourish. This is why we place student wellbeing at the center of learning, creating classrooms where every child feels valued and supported, and where curiosity and discovery fuel a lifelong love of learning.
Education, to me, is a shared journey where teachers, students, and parents walk together in partnership. Building dynamic teams inspired by student potential is central to this journey, as is fostering a culture of continuous growth and professional development among our staff. By empowering teachers to lead, we strengthen our school community and enrich the learning experience for every child. This commitment is inseparable from our school's mission and vision, which guide all that we do. I see our school as a living community, one that shapes not only the academic abilities of students, but also their character, confidence, and joy in learning. As we begin this new academic year, I look forward to building meaningful relationships with you and celebrating your children's growth and achievements. Thank you for entrusting us with your most precious gift: your children. At Soong Ching Ling School, we are proud to provide high quality education, to foster a love of lifelong learning, and to look forward with excitement to a fantastic year together.
Dear Students,
Welcome to a brand new school year at Soong Ching Ling School! I am so excited to join you as your new Primary Principal. Our school is a very special place where every child is cared for, included, and valued. Here, you belong. Your voice matters, and you have the power to make choices, share ideas, and shape your own learning journey.
In our classrooms, your teachers and I will get to know you well, your interests, your strengths, and the ways you learn best. We want to spark your curiosity and wonder so that learning feels joyful, exciting, and full of discovery. I believe each of you has unlimited potential, and I cannot wait to see you grow, shine, and achieve amazing things this year. Most of all, I look forward to getting to know every single one of you and celebrating the many ways you will flourish. Together, we will make this a fantastic year of learning, belonging, and new adventures.
Warmest wishes,
Dr. Pitre
