🎯 Mission

Our school aims at providing holistic and student-centred education, creating a positive and caring environment for learning and developing students' talent.

📚 Approach & Strategies

With an orientation of 'learning from everyday life and realizing through experiences' in the curriculum, our school adopts diversified and authentic teaching strategies in order to boost students' motivation and promote self-directed learning. Our school is also devoted to developing students' good learning habits, which enable them to build a solid foundation for lifelong learning.

💛 SEN Support

The school utilizes EDB's related resources, such as the Learning Support Grant (LSG) for pupils with special educational needs. To cater for the genuine needs of our pupils, especially in terms of their learning effectiveness and attitude, we provide special arrangements for our teaching, learning and assessments; counseling support groups; social emotional support groups; school-based speech therapy service; and tailored support service for individual pupils, etc. Every year, we also communicate closely with our parents for the individual pupil's support, including detailed portfolios and meetings to foster home-school cooperation.

🎨 Whole-person Learning

We organize experiential learning days for students including Technology Day, Arts Day, Life-wide Learning Week, adventure training and overseas exchanges, as well as a variety of extra-curricular activities such as debate, fencing, rugby, woodwind band, marching band and gifted education training program, etc. All students from Primary 1 to 6 participate in the Community Youth Club. We also promote students' whole-person development through multiple intelligences activities in the 4-hour cross curricular learning periods weekly.
