About This Book All students across Elementary took part in the creation of this book. Grades 1-4 created an image which illustrated the Guiding Principles and Grade 5 took responsibility for the Seisen Mission Statement.

They discussed the meaning behind the words and thought about the symbols they could use to represent the essence of each statement, from their own perspective, as students of Seisen International School.

The aim was to develop further understanding of the Mission and Principles, as well as to give the students an opportunity to express their ideas, thoughts and emotions, through Visual Arts.
