Value In Action (VIA)
Values in Action (VIA) are learning experiences that support students’ development as socially responsible citizens who contribute meaningfully to the community, through the learning and application of values, knowledge and skills.
VIA fosters student ownership over how they contribute to the community. As part of VIA, students reflect on their experience, the values they have put into practice, and how they can continue to contribute meaningfully.
In alignment to Assumption English School’s values to develop our Assumptionknights to be compassionate and empathetic contributors to the society, the VIA programme is a multi-prong approach which builds on progressive and engaging experiences of our students as they move on from year to year.
Assumption English School uses a multi-prong approach in VIA based on:
Theme | School and Environment | Sec 3: Intergenerational Bonding Sec 4/5: Guiding Juniors for Flag Day | ||
Level | School Initiated | School / Student Initiated | ||
