Our mission is to help our students to develop an ever-improving capacity to use English to communicate with others, to respond and give appropriate expression to experience, as well as to acquire, develop and apply knowledge.

The Lord’s prayer

In order to cultivate students’ spiritual growth, English department has every student memorize The Lord’s prayer at the beginning of the school year. A divine atmosphere can be created when students can be found everywhere reciting bible verses, saying:

Our Father in heaven
hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever.
Amen.

May all the honour and glory be unto our heavenly father!
