SCHOOL CULTURE

The school provides a Christian environment where there is a strong culture of Teamwork, Excellence, Affirmation and Mission-mindedness (TEAM PHS). To develop our students to be Passionate Learners, Servant Leaders and Stewards of Tomorrow, the school places emphasis on nurturing and developing good character as well as harnessing the leadership potential in every child, inculcating in students a sense of gratitude and responsibility to the community and nation. Providing a holistic education, the school seeks to enable our students to discover and grow in their strengths and talents to fulfil their potential.

SCHOOL MOTTO

The Burning Bush with the school motto, ‘Aflame for Truth’, is inspired by Exodus 3:1-12.  The school is a place where students are taught the importance of integrity and upholding the truth in thought, word and deed. 

The Burning Bush and school motto therefore remind us of God’s presence and faithfulness, and that we are part of the community of Christians in Presbyterian Churches all over the world.  It encourages us to be honest and upright, and to exemplify the school values with God as our Creator and Guide. 

Biblical Heritage

Our biblical heritage reminds us of God's faithfulness to all generations of staff and students of PHS. Today, in a volatile and complex world, our biblical heritage anchors us in God, connects us to the Presbyterian community, and affirms our role as a mission school, with humble beginnings as a rural Chinese school. Inspired by our heritage, we will continue to place our hope in God, confident that He will strengthen us, and serve our neighbours with love. 

焚而不毁 (fén ér bù huǐ)

Exodus 3:1-12

Like the burning bush that was not consumed, we stand firm in God’s faithfulness and presence.  

饮水思源 (yǐn shuǐ sī yuán)

Luke 17:11-17

Just as water gives life, we remember that God is our Creator and the source of life. 

立己立人 (lì jǐ lì rén)

Luke 2:41-52

Just as God first loved us, we strive to grow and mature in Christ to love others in the same way.
