Award Winning
Through our constant encouragement and students' great effort, we are pleased to see the big improvement and outstanding achievements of our students in different local and and international competitions. What we encourage and matter is not the rank or title that they got. What we emphasize is the students gaining confidence and getting improved more completely through different challenges. The good thing is to open our visions to learn from each others' art.

It is inspiring that the Foundation especially brought to us some great compliments that our school had very talented students and they are all very impressed with the nice painting entries submitted from our school. All entering students should be very proud of the creative artwork and they can challenge in a high standard and very competitive event. Students submitted artwork that portrayed relationships between coral reef species such as the symbiotic relationship between clownfish and anemones, while others focused on the relationship people have with the reef.
