Guiding Principles

Our Intent

St. Cyprian's Boys' School (SCBS) is committed to fostering a positive school environment and to equip students with life skills by preparing them to become responsible, compassionate and capable leaders who contribute positively to society.

SCBS promises to:

Provide a challenging academic environment that develop young boys into becoming well-rounded and responsible individuals through critical thinking and reasoning skills
Support all students in developing healthy relationship, making right choices (ethically and morally)
Stimulate the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process
Further develop positive attitudes among staff and pupils
Enhance students’ creativity and expand their learning capabilities
Maintain a disciplined environment through mutual respect

Our Mission

Our mission is to educate all students in a safe, supportive and challenging environment where they can thrive and prosper through a disciplined approach to learning and respect for each other and those in authority. We are committed to helping our students adapt and adjust to a diverse and ever-changing society.

Our Motto

“Sure And Steady Must Succeed”

Our motto conveys the message to our students that consistent and focused effort leads to success. It emphasizes the old saying that “ perseverance seldom fails” and that success is likely attained when each one of them moves forward with steady, deliberate and consistent actions.

Our Values

Teachers and students must create a disciplined environment where deep and meaningful connections are formed rooted in respect, brotherhood, honesty and integrity.

Respect (self, authority and school rules)
Brotherhood and Teamwork (supportive of each other through success and failures, accepting mentoring roles and developing a collective identity that lasts beyond graduation.)
Honesty and integrity (being truthful and doing the right things at all times even when the right thing is not popular but aligned with your ethics, morals and values.)

We will all adhere to the code of conduct which will set clear standards of behaviour for all members of the school community.

Our School Colour

Our school colour is green. This colour was chosen by our Founder, Canon Gordon Hazlewood, back in 1959 when he had the vision for the school. Green is about growth and prosperity and amongst many values, the colour green is associated with ambition and success. This ties back neatly to our motto “Sure And Steady Must Succeed” which focuses on continuous learning in a balanced environment where not only academic but physical and emotional well being are valued.
