Discuss the roles played by the teacher, student and parents in order to achieve the goals and objectives of Sekolah Victory Plus?
Generally, when parents participate in their children’s education, both at home and at school, and experience relationships with teachers characterized by mutuality, warmth, and respect, students achieve more, demonstrate increased achievement motivation, and exhibit higher levels of emotional, social, and behavioral adjustment.

Students who enjoy a close and supportive relationship with a teacher are more engaged in that they work harder in the classroom, persevere in the face of difficulties, accept teacher direction and criticism, cope better with stress, and attend more to the teacher.
At Sekolah Victory Plus we actively encourage this partnership between home and school. This three way relationship is at the core of who we are as a school. We have a very strong parent support body Parent Support Group (PSG), that organize events to support the school in its mission. For example, each year the PSG organize a career expo to help secondary students with their career choices.
This three way relationship is at the core of our reporting process. Students, teachers and parents meet regularly during the year to discuss the progress of each student, highlight areas of strength and areas requiring further development. At the end of each of these meetings the parent and teachers support the students to articulate clear, measurable and attainable goals.
At Sekolah Victory Plus the teacher, and the parent are a team focused on helping the student to identify and achieve their dreams.

How does your school support innovation and creativity ?

As a school community we recognize the importance of inspiring inquiry and innovation. Each member of our school community is engaged as an active learner. Therefore at SVP learning is not a journey to a destination, it is a mindset.
We encourage unlimited personal development in our students and seek to equip our students with values, strategies and skills to navigate a constantly evolving landscape of information, resources and ideas.

We encourage students to use creativity and imagination in their learning and as a school we participate actively in understanding and contributing to the development of innovative and influential educational practices.

Imagination is the ability to bring to mind events and ideas that are not present to our senses. Creativity , the process of developing original ideas that have value, and Innovation, which is the process of putting original ideas into practice.

Therefore as a school we:

  • Promote experimentation and inquiry and a willingness to make mistakes
  • Encourage generative thought, free from immediate criticism,
  • Encourage the expression of personal ideas and feelings
  • Convey an understanding of phases in creative work and the need for time
  • Develop an awareness of roles on intuition and aesthetic processes
  • Encourage students to play with ideas and conjecture about possibilities, and
  • Facilitate critical evaluation of ideas.

Everyday we are actively encouraging our students to explore their imagination and come up with creative ideas to share with their peers and teachers. Our ideas board provides for an opportunity for students to share their ideas about anything but also as a tool to improve their learning experience.

Every year we host a whole school Innovation Week culminating in a spectacular Innovation Fair where students showcase their ideas.

What is the relationship between teachers and students ?

At the heart of education is the relationship between teachers and students. If students are not learning, education is not happening. Creativity depends on interactions between feeling and thinking, and across different disciplinary boundaries and fields of ideas. Our teachers are skilled in developing a non threatening safe learning environment based on compassion and good character. For our students, SVP is their second home.
