Principal's Welcome
Total Care Education? Guides Every Student’s Success
Welcome to 老九品茶. It is a privilege to lead a school where every student is known, supported with purpose, and encouraged to grow into their best selves.
Entrusting a school with your child’s future is an act of deep confidence. At CIC, we honour that trust through our Total Care Education System?— our daily practice of understanding each student as a whole person and providing the academic, social, emotional, and physical support they need to thrive.
To our parents: I recognize the courage it takes to send your child far from home. Through Total Care, you are never alone. The steady care of our teachers, residence staff, and counsellors—together with our 24/7 Student ASEP Tracker—offers real reassurance. Often, it is the quiet, thoughtful moments—spotting a concern, celebrating progress, offering guidance— that best reflect our commitment to your family.
To our students: Your goals matter. Whether you are working toward top university offers or discovering new strengths, your Circle of Care—teachers, tutors, mentors, residence staff, and myself—is here to guide and support you to go higher than you think possible.
I am proud of every young person who has joined our school and humbled by the trust families place in CIC. With dedication, experience, and a sincere belief in each student’s potential, we prepare you for success in university and help you grow into warm-hearted, capable, and globally minded young adults—ready for university and ready for life.
