In particular, the PSHE curriculum is further strengthened to include two units focusing on China and Hong Kong's history, geography, and development. <br>STEAM is a subject in itself, where scientific knowledge and investigations lead to projects that integrate learning in other subject areas.<br>ICT is a driving force to expand our horizons when we apply the skills we have learned in our daily lives to problem-solving and creating. <br>Our learning effectiveness is enhanced by starting each day with a short reading lesson to consolidate our reading and literacy skills, which are pivotal in academic success. |
