MISSION

  • To cultivate a vibrant reading culture where every student reads with enjoyment and purpose, explores diverse perspectives, and engages in meaningful conversations that build understanding, empathy, and collaboration.

VISION

  • Connecting people and cultures through reading 

Bridging through Books 

West Grove’s vision of ‘Connecting People and Cultures Through Reading’, is designed to nurture students into empathetic, confident, and globally aware communicators. Anchored in the belief that reading is meaningful, shared, and a powerful bridge across cultures, the framework guides students through five key experiences: 

  • reading with joy and purpose 

  • exploring diverse perspectives

  • thinking and sharing ideas

  • reflecting with empathy

  • connecting learning beyond the text. 

Reading programmes 

  1. Thematic Library Activities 

Our WeREAD has thematic displays and these displays come along with interesting activities such as word search and crossword puzzles for students to participate in. Students will get to know the upcoming themes through the morning assembly notifications and announcements made in the canteen TVs. Students can simply visit the library, read through the displays and win exciting tokens by completing the activities. Students will also get to read books related to these themes to widen their reads.

  1. Hello Author!

Hello Author! provides students with the exciting opportunity to engage with authors and storytellers, allowing them to experience the creative process behind books. Through interactive sharing sessions, students gain insights into how stories are crafted, ask questions, and develop a deeper appreciation for reading and writing. This programme inspires students to see themselves as creators of stories while strengthening their connection to literature and diverse perspectives.

  1. Book Spotlight

Book Spotlight highlights carefully selected books by school leaders, teachers, parent volunteers and our school’s librarian that spark curiosity, promote enjoyment, and encourage students to explore new genres and perspectives. Featured through engaging displays, announcements, and sharing sessions, these books are recommended to broaden students’ reading experiences. This programme supports students in discovering meaningful texts, nurturing a love for reading, and building confidence in choosing books independently.

  1. From Reading to Real-World Learning 

From Reading to Real-World Learning connects reading meaningfully to students’ learning across different subjects. Through thoughtfully selected texts, students explore concepts in areas such as Science, Social Studies, Physical Education and the Arts, allowing them to deepen understanding while developing literacy skills. By linking reading to real-world topics and classroom learning, this programme helps students make authentic connections, think critically, and apply their knowledge beyond the text.
