🎯 Mission
In accordance with S.K.H.'s gospel mission, religious and moral enlightenment nurtures children in an optimistic and positive view of life, enabling them to fully realise their potential to become considerate and well-rounded. Based on our motto, 'Not to be served, but to serve', we cultivate our students to be kind-hearted and willing to serve the community where they can exemplify the spirit of "Christ Loves".
📚 Approach & Strategies
Enhance assessment literacy to inform teaching and curriculum design. Review students' learning and progress through periodic assessments, making timely adjustments to improve teaching quality. Promote interdisciplinary learning, integrating values education, STEAM education, self-directed learning, and strategies to cater to diverse learning needs. This aims to boost students' interest in learning, deepen their habits of self-directed learning and problem-solving skills, and cultivate a positive and proactive learning attitude, achieving holistic development.
💛 SEN Support
Our school-based educational psychologist regularly visits the school to provide professional assessments and support for students in need. The school-based speech therapist conducts speech training for students who require it. Specialized training is arranged for students with special educational needs, including social groups, individual Education plans, and small group teaching.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
Every Friday, the whole school participates in the "Multiple Intelligences Class," and there are over 40 extracurricular activities covering technology, academics, sports, arts, and leadership training. School teams include STEM LEGO robotics, drone soccer, campus TV station, squash, soccer, fancy rope skipping, dragon and lion dance, flag martial arts, English drama, wind band, choir, and visual arts talents.
