🎯 Mission

We believe that students have their own talents/needs. We aim at helping them become confident self-directed learners. Through a multi-cultural and positive learning environment, students learn cheerfully and harmoniously.

📚 Approach & Strategies

Co-teaching is implemented in the main subjects. Various activities are used to enhance learning. To cater for NCS students' diverse learning needs and enhance their learning interests, we utilize picture books and theme-based learning activities. Space Town, Keys2 and DTS are implemented in the English curriculum to enhance students' reading and writing competence.

💛 SEN Support

We make good use of the additional resources allocated by the EDB including Learning Support Grant, Enhanced School-based Speech Therapy Service and School-based educational psychology Services to provide students with the following support according to their learning needs: small group teaching, collaborative teaching, withdrawal teaching, after-school subject counseling, Individual Education Plans, literacy training, concentration training, sensory integration training, social group training, speech therapy training, etc. With the existing support, we hope to enhance students' self-confidence and social skills while taking into account the development of multiple intelligence.

School is the second home for our teachers, students and parents. We live, learn and laugh together in order to bring our students a wholesome childhood.
major_renewed_emphases_pri_edu_curriculum Our school focuses on creating a caring campus and providing a pleasant learning environment. With the renewal of the primary education curriculum, we will continue to strengthen the implementation of values education (including life education, and national security education), optimize overall curriculum planning, and strengthen STEAM education. We continue to provide students with diverse, relevant and meaningful learning experiences (life-wide learning) in order to broaden their learning foundation and horizons, and nurture them to become active and independent lifelong learners.
dev_of_generic_skills Generic skills are integrated into the curriculum and extra-curricular activities. Activities are held during lessons to encourage students to use the skills. Students' linguistic development is our major concern as language is vital for communication. Both English and Chinese are our media of instruction. We have implemented a Life-Wide Learning Week to help students develop their generic skills. Additionally, through encouraging students to apply a growth mindset, different character strengths and learning skills, their learning effectiveness is continuously enhanced.
cultivation_of_proper_values_attitudes_and_behaviours We have implemented our school-based Positive Education program (Flourish Express) to help students engage in the five major elements in Positive Education, i.e. Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment. Through various learning activities, students are encouraged to utilize different character strengths and strategies to help them solve problems in their daily lives and learning. We hope that Positive Education can help to equip students with strengths to tackle the challenges in the future.

We are keen on creating a compatible and caring culture to cater for students’ diverse learning needs and provide students with appropriate learning support services. Each class has a dual-class teacher system to provide appropriate care for students.

curriculum_tailoring_and_adaptation We implement group teaching and collaborative teaching to optimize the school-based curriculum to assist students with diverse learning needs. Teachers set support directions and review progress for students with learning difficulties and special educational needs in stages, provide students with curriculum, coursework and assessment adjustments, record the learning results through classroom observations, and report to parents on time. Our Student Learning Support Group establishes individual learning files and implements individual learning plans for students to cater for their learning differences.
