Core Purpose

Our core purpose at Ahmad Ibrahim (AI) is to empower each pupil to be a Life-long Learner and Responsible Citizen with integrity and compassion. This can be achieved through a Caring and LearningEnvironment in AI.

Pupils are expected to contribute to this caring and learning environment through their actions and behaviours.

Through the Character Development Programme at AI, each pupil will develop the R3ICH Values (Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Integrity, Care, and Harmony) that will enable them to behave positively.

The AI Code of Conduct sets out expectations in knowing and managing self and others (page 2 and 3). The positive consequences of these expected behaviours will be a caring and learning environment for every pupil. AI pupils will be assessed on their conduct based on these expectations and this will be reflected in their Conduct Grade for each Semester. Our expectation is for each pupil to be graded Very Good and above.
