🎯 Mission
Our school carries on the pedagogy of St. John Bosco, the founder of the Salesian Society, who has possessed the belief, conviction and experience to invite priests, educators, parents and the people concerned to join in the nurturing of young people as a family. They will recognise reason, loving kindness, and religion as inflexible need to make their presence felt, and cultivate them in different environment and activities. Each pupil shall feel they are guided and loved by knowledge and morality with equilibrium in personal growth as a member in God's family.
📚 Approach & Strategies
Based on the core curriculum, a school-based curriculum has been established for students according to their abilities, interests and needs. Through various learning and teaching strategies, such as collaborative learning, e-Learning and differentiated questioning skills, students construct knowledge, develop high-order thinking skills, nurture generic skills and establish positive values and attitudes through interactive group activities. Eventually, students can obtain the three characteristics of Salesian Boys - to be unique, friendly and optimistic. Small class teaching is implemented from P.1 to P.6. For upper primary, students are streamed into ability groups in Chinese, English and Mathematics lessons. These policies allow teachers to cater for students' learning diversities. In so…
💛 SEN Support
Ability grouping enables teachers to arrange appropriate learning modes, multiple intelligence activities and group training according to each student's interest and ability. In a suitable learning environment, the gap between each learner can be narrowed, and to create a decent integrated educational environment.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
Our school provides a wide range of extra-curricular activities which involves academic, sports and aesthetic activities and community services. Multiple intelligence lessons include: hip-hop dancing, wushu, hand chimes, Scientists, fancy rope-skipping, etc. For Potential Realization Programme, the following trainings are provided: English Ambassadors, Environment Ambassadors, STEM, drama, media production, etc. As for after-school classes, we offer English singing and dancing class, interview class, Go Chess class, table tennis class, etc. Moreover, various seminars, overseas trips and visits are also provided.
