🎯 Mission
Our mission is to provide high quality, comprehensive and balanced basic education service for children in Southern District. We hope our students can develop their individual potential, learning to learn skills and a secure foundation for further study and personal growth throughout their school life. With 'Diligence, Frugality, Loyalty, Faithfulness and Self-achievements for Benefiting Others' spirit, students are well-equipped with knowledge, skills and a heart to care for the community, shoulder responsibility, and eventually, become useful citizens with positive attitude.
📚 Approach & Strategies
1. Implement small class teaching with student-oriented activities to promote learning skills and positive learning attitude. 2. Implement Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in P4-P6 to arouse students' learning interest and enhance their self-learning ability. 3. "No Written Homework Day" on every Wednesday to allow time for self planning. 4. Introduce the element of STEAM education in featured classes and extra-curriculum activities in order to motivate the initiatives of our students to gain hands-on experience and train them with logical creativity, collaborative and problem-solving skills. 5. Create biliterate and trilingual learning environment to facilitate language learning capabilities of our students.
