Our School Logo
The school logo depicts a happy face, which we aspire Pathlight to be for our students – a happy place. The upward curve of the logo and the transition of the colours from blue to green embody the essence of a Chinese saying, “青出于蓝, 更胜于蓝”. This describes the growth and transformation of a Pathlight student from a child when he/she first enters the School to a responsible adult, whose potential is maximised when he/she leaves the School.

Our Beliefs
Education
We believe that education is one of the greatest equalisers in life. A good education is a key passport to achieving meaningful engagement, independence, and dignity.
- No applicant who is suitable for placement in Pathlight School will be deprived due to lack of financial means.
- Each student will have an Individual Education/Transition Plan based on his/her strengths, interests and key learning needs and executed in partnership with school and family.
Quality
We believe that anything that is worth doing is worth doing well.
- We do our best, using limited resources to deliver quality education services for all students.
- We strive to benchmark ourselves against best practices in education and other sectors.
- Both staff and students do not stop learning knowing that continuous improvement is the only way to quality.
Inclusion
We believe that people with special needs should be included with respect and dignity in the community.
- We plan and maximise opportunities to effect purposeful integration with the larger community to enable them to become useful contributing members of society.
