Study diligently and innovate, work together to practice the concept of gifted education

Hon Wah College (Primary Section)With a history of more than 80 years, it has been committed to promoting the teaching concept of gifted education, comprehensively cultivating students' academic, moral and physical development, and improving their higher-order thinking skills. Vice Principal Ou Huishan, head of the primary school, and the teaching team keep pace with the times, closely follow social and educational development trends, create an immersive English learning environment, and implement the "One Art for Life" program. Through patient listening, positive guidance, and technological empowerment, they not only enhance students' learning motivation and self-confidence, but also guide them to become future talents with scientific spirit, humanistic care, and positive values.

Popularizing gifted education and inspiring students’ whole-person development

The school has been implementing the three core values of "opportunities, resources and encouragement" and has been promoting "school-based whole-class gifted teaching" for more than ten years, enriching students' learning experience through diversified activities. The classroom uses "brain science-based teaching methods" and "higher-order thinking teaching strategies" to build self-confidence and a sense of success. The school firmly believes that all students should have equal learning opportunities. All learning and activities, such as field trips and overseas study tours, are open to all students without any screening, giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents and uniqueness. The school's experiential learning also cooperates with the school-based curriculum to allow students to step out of the classroom and provide learning opportunities in real situations, actual environments, and close to life, creating a diversified, lively, interesting, and dynamic experiential learning life for students.

On the basis of gifted education, every student must participate in the "One Life Art" program and learn a sport and musical instrument. Through the "One Art for Life" course, the school not only hopes that students can learn two professional skills, but also hopes that they can learn the attitude towards life of perseverance, never giving up, not being arrogant when winning, and not being discouraged when losing. In addition, students develop problem-solving, communication and leadership skills through teamwork. The school currently hires professional tutors from outside the school to teach physical education courses. Over the years, the school has also achieved excellent results in academic circles and Hong Kong open competitions. Some students have been recruited by famous universities and even Hong Kong teams because of their outstanding physical skills, and have been arranged for long-term special training.

Bilingual teaching policy and solid language foundation

The school emphasizes that students must lay a solid foundation for learning, with special emphasis on the development of biliteracy and trilingualism. It has formulated a bilingual teaching policy. Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are English days, and Tuesdays and Fridays are Mandarin days. Chinese subjects are taught in Mandarin, while English, science, visual arts and upper primary school mathematics subjects are taught in English. Students will also learn English classical literature under the guidance of foreign teachers. The courses are taught entirely in English, which can not only consolidate students’ language foundation, but also help them advance to secondary school.

Grasp I&T trends and make good use of artificial intelligence

In recent years, the school has been committed to integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into learning and teaching. Artificial intelligence (AI) can implement individualized teaching according to students' abilities, take care of individual differences, build students' self-confidence, and stimulate learning enthusiasm and interest. The school integrates artificial intelligence into teaching in different subjects. For example, the school combines humanities, science and STEM subjects across subjects and designs a school-based curriculum of "Making the Best Use of AI Assistant - Exploration and Application of Information Technology". The school skillfully uses AI tools to guide students to focus on key knowledge, uses STEAM elements to strengthen knowledge points, and emphasizes media and information literacy. In addition, the Chinese and English subjects in high schools have developed an AI writing assessment tool that allows teachers to collect data, diagnose students’ difficulties, and provide effective feedback. Vice President Ou said: "AI can provide students with suitable suggestions based on their abilities, implement teaching in accordance with their aptitude, take care of individual differences, create opportunities for success, help them build self-confidence, and stimulate their enthusiasm and interest in learning."

Set up AI fitness to scientifically improve body function

The school is committed to providing students with opportunities to exercise both inside and outside the classroom to achieve the goal of MVPA60 per day. The school makes good use of artificial intelligence technology and has set up AI physical fitness sports areas for students. In addition to allowing students to freely choose various physical fitness activities (such as standing long jump, skipping, jumping jacks, etc.) in specific areas in the school, it can also use facial recognition and smart gesture recognition to record physical fitness project data for students to understand and track students' physical growth for improvement. In addition, in order to improve the accuracy and convenience of endurance running and height and weight measurement, the school will use electronic running lap systems and electronic weight measuring instruments to assist in measuring and recording relevant data, and make personal records through the electronic system to understand the overall physical fitness needs of students, so as to strengthen focused training and skill development for students in the course.

Caring for the campus and emphasizing moral character, home and school work together to cultivate seedlings

The school has adhered to the concept of "caring for the campus" for many years, paying special attention to moral education and striving to cultivate students with good manners and empathy. Through the "Child Companion Ambassador Program", senior students serve as primary school teachers to guide lower-grade students to adapt to campus life, while learning care and responsibility through service; combined with a variety of service-learning activities, such as visiting the elderly center for performances, exclusive interviews with characters, and the production of character storybooks, students can experience the life stories of different age groups first-hand, and deepen their empathy and attitude of gratitude. In addition, the school actively promotes various positive education activities, including the "Hanhua Star" award scheme, Birthday Star Casual Wear Day, inclusive lectures and "Hanhua Good Mood Activities", etc., to guide students to say good things, think good intentions, do good deeds, establish a positive self-image and values, and create a campus atmosphere of mutual help, inclusiveness and positive energy.

In addition, the school has always attached great importance to close cooperation between home and school and organized the "Hanhua Caring Parent Volunteer Team" to allow parents to become active partners in school education. The school regularly holds parent volunteer training workshops to equip parents to support school activities. It also strengthens communication and collaboration between home and school through multiple platforms such as parent lectures, parent tea gatherings, "Parent Get-togethers" and "Vice Principal Channel" activities. Parents and teachers work hand in hand to guide students to establish a positive outlook on life and train them to become future pillars with both talent and character, so that the spirit of "love and example" can be naturally passed on between family and school.
