🎯 Mission

We devote ourselves to the provision of a quality education, a healthy, happy and effective environment where students can develop their potential intellectually and socially in order to face the challenges in life.

📚 Approach & Strategies

Pupil-centred learning. Encourage pupils to ask questions through teacher-pupil and pupil-pupil interaction during lessons so as to develop their critical thinking attitude and skills. Moreover, self-learning skills and attitude are developed through preparation of chapters, self-designed questions in Maths and project work.

💛 SEN Support

Student Support Team led by Special Educational Needs Coordinator organises programmes such as the territory-wide early identification and intervention programme at primary one, teachers are able to identify students with special educational needs as early as possible to find out any learning difficulties and needs. We also conduct regular meetings with the parents. We offer School-based Speech Therapy Service, remedial lessons after school, pull-out programme and co-teaching lessons.

🎨 Whole-person Learning

In order to make learning more interesting and meaningful, we offer students in different levels a variety of visits and field trips. Besides, there is a variety of school teams and after-school interest groups including Chinese and western musical instruments, verse speaking, drama, dancing, taekwondo, ball games and more than 40 activity groups in different aspects.
