🎯 Mission

Holy Family is a school of LOVE and HUMILITY patterned after our foundress, St. Magdalene of Canossa. Holy Family is committed to the principle that all students can develop to their full capacity. It is our mission to provide a positive learning environment that enhances each student's opportunity to learn and develop through a balanced educational programme which recognises the need for growth in academic, social, physical, spiritual, knowledge and attitude.

📚 Approach & Strategies

1. Chinese, English, Mathematics, General Studies, Religious Studies, Music, Physical Education, and Visual Arts are taught in double lessons. Class teacher lessons and tutorial sessions provide appropriate guidance for students. 2. Arrange project-based learning, cross-curricular STREAM school-based units, values education theme activities, life-wide learning activities, outdoor learning days, educational camp, and other activities.

With the implementation of the ‘Early Identification and Intervention Programme for P.1 Students with Learning Difficulties’, we have catered to P.1 students with special learning needs with ‘early identification’ and ‘early intervention’.
