major_renewed_emphases_pri_edu_curriculum Aiming at nurturing lifelong learners, our school introduces a school STREAM curriculum to foster students’ creativity, STREAM literacy and computational thinking. Through cross-curricular learning, students integrate knowledge and generic skills from different domains to solve real-word problems. Apart from using eLearning tools for interactive learning, our school designs a school coding curriculum and incorporate I&T elements in STREAM education to broaden students’ scope of learning and horizons. Being a Catholic school, our school also accords high priority to values education.
