🎯 Mission
The school has realized the through-train education mode advocated by EDB. The through-train curriculum ensures continuity and consistency across different learning stages. With emphasis on students' learning process, individual learning mode and interests, students can get successful learning experience in the school.
📚 Approach & Strategies
As a through-train school, more flexibility is allowed for developing a twelve-year curriculum with consistency and continuity. This also releases students' pressure when being promoted to secondary school. 1. Our twelve-year curriculum emphasizes developing students' - ability of using language (English, Putonghua & Cantonese) to communicate effectively; - abilities of logical thinking, problem solving & creative thinking; - ability of the appreciation of the oriental and western arts and culture; - physical health through exercise; - communication and cooperation skills; - abilities of self-reflection and self-improvement. 2. We use diversified teaching methods like cooperative learning to make the lessons more interesting and cater for students' learning …
💛 SEN Support
Our school has a "Student Support Team" to cater for students with Special Educational Needs through "Whole School Approach". We provide professional support such as homework and assessment accommodation, pre-lesson study classes, etc.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
Professional itinerant tutors are employed to organize various extra curricular activities after school, e.g. Sports Teams, Athletics Team, Swimming Team, Chinese Dance Team, Cheerleading Team, Taekwondo Team, Choir, Orchestra, Handbell Ensemble, Coral Speaking Team, English Drama Team, Junior Reporters, STEAM Team, Visual Arts Team, Uniform Teams and Junior Pioneers of Christ, etc.
