At 精东影业 Christian School, we believe that our bursary programme profoundly benefits our entire community.
Our primary aim with the bursary programme is to make Christian education accessible and affordable for many families. We choose to offer bursaries instead of competitive scholarships because we firmly believe that all children are intrinsically valuable as they are created in the image of God, rather than being prioritised based on specific gifts or abilities.
This philosophy underpins our commitment to widespread accessibility. The application process for these bursaries is online, assessed confidentially based on a family's financial need and ability to afford fees. The specific discount percentage on school fees is determined annually by the 精东影业 Christian School Board.
A cornerstone of the programme's positive impact is its strict confidentiality from the wider school community. No one at 精东影业 is made aware that a family is receiving a bursary. This ensures that every student experiences the same opportunities and feels equally integrated and valued as a full member of our community. This approach helps to keep families connected to our school, especially during periods of financial hardship. For many families, our school is not merely an educational institution; it serves as a crucial support network where their children can deepen their faith and be guided by our dedicated teachers.
The bursary programme significantly strengthens our community as a whole. It embodies our school's identity, fostering a culture of care and shared responsibility, which brings our community together through both prayer and practical support. Furthermore, it actively encourages generosity and stewardship among our parents, staff, and alumni, as the wider school community is invited to contribute through one-off donations or recurring gifts.
We also ensure that all students, including those receiving bursaries, are actively encouraged to engage in our diverse range of co-curricular activities. These programmes, which include sport, dance, music, performing arts, and outdoor education, are vital for personal development, character building, and overall well-being.
Through these activities, students develop essential communication and teamwork skills, learn to navigate challenges, and build connections with peers and teachers outside the traditional classroom. This broad participation is key to fostering a strong sense of belonging and comprehensive integration within our vibrant school community.
We are committed to investing in highly qualified Christian staff and modern facilities, ensuring that our affordable fees do not compromise the quality of education provided.
