🎯 Mission
To nurture our students to serve the community by enhancing our school motto and to extend students' potential to the full by providing good quality education with a balance of development of the five values: moral and civic, intellectual, social skills, physical and aesthetic education.
📚 Approach & Strategies
Language proficiency is emphasized in our teaching focus. Integrated modes of learning are used to enhance the four language skills. Inquiry-based learning is practised in Mathematics and General Studies in order to build students' logical thinking. Multiple intelligences are highlighted in the regular curriculum, including life-wide learning and cross-curricular programs. Overseas study tours are arranged so as to enrich students’ other learning experiences.
💛 SEN Support
Our school is committed to developing an inclusive culture through a whole-school approach to support students with special educational needs. Resources are allocated and external programmes are integrated to provide appropriate and diverse support for these students, such as the School-based Speech Therapy Service and the School-based Educational Psychology Service, in order to enhance their learning and adjustment to school life.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
There are more than forty activity clubs in our school such as music, art, PE, drama, dancing, solo-verse speaking and choral speaking, STEM coding, etc to help students construct new knowledge. In order to foster students' development of arts and culture, our school offers opportunities for students to learn wind and string instruments from P1. Through these activities, students can extend their potential according to their own interests and strengths which in turn can achieve our goal─ "One Child, One Skill".
