The Endeavourers Leung Lee Sau Yu Memorial Primary School Taking education without distinction as the purpose of education, we are committed to cultivating the balanced development of students' moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic education, and adhering to the school motto of "Morality, Wisdom and Trustworthiness", establishing a positive and caring campus culture, providing students with high-quality holistic education, cultivating students' independent thinking and self-study abilities, unleashing their personal potential, becoming the pillars of the future, and giving back to the society in the future. Principal Chen Guiying leads the teaching team to innovate the curriculum content and provide diversified learning experiences to meet the different learning needs of students, broaden their horizons and enhance their learning interests. At the same time, they optimize the campus environment so that students can happily study and play in different corners of the school, experience a fulfilling campus life, and build the excellent qualities of "willing to learn, good at communication, courage to take responsibility, and dare to innovate".

Special school-based courses, flexible teaching arrangements

The school keeps pace with the times. In terms of curriculum arrangement and planning, it attaches great importance to innovative teaching and strengthens independent learning elements. Students learn subject knowledge in the morning period; in the afternoon, "special courses" are arranged for value education or interdisciplinary learning. At the same time, the school has always attached great importance to students' biliteracy and trilingualism. For this reason, the Chinese subject has participated in the support plan of the Language Teaching and Curriculum Development Section of the Education Bureau, and has launched a school-based unit design that "combines reading and writing" in the second grade. The English subject has also designed a school-based curriculum that "combines reading and writing" in grades one to six. Picture books and books have also been introduced in the first grade as multicultural teaching themes to arouse students' interest in reading, cultivate imagination and curiosity, establish values ​​and lay a solid language foundation.

In addition, reading is not only an important way to absorb and internalize knowledge, but also improves personal culture and character cultivation. The school makes good use of teaching resources and technology to build a strong campus reading culture. It specially introduces an electronic reading platform combined with physical books to support students to learn from reading. The teaching team sets up book classes and arranges various reading activities, such as book sharing, school-based reading award scheme, e-reading school plan, HYREAD Hong Kong and Macao e-reading activities, etc. to enhance the reading atmosphere. The school's reading teaching strategy has achieved remarkable results. More than 70% of students can read at least 6 e-books, establish independent learning habits, and improve their learning abilities. After students have been immersed in the world of books for a long time, they have developed the skills to collect, judge, understand and apply information, which is of great benefit to them in interdisciplinary collaboration or project study.

Participate in off-campus support programs to enhance information technology capabilities

The school actively develops external resources and participates in various teaching support programs to improve learning and teaching effectiveness. In order to promote "hands-on" experiential independent learning, General Studies participates in the "Sense‧Create‧Do" comprehensive value inheritance plan of Education Datong, breaking the inherent framework of General Studies and creating a learning space for students, allowing them to learn in real life situations, enjoy enjoyable and meaningful learning, practice "child-centered" literacy teaching, and cultivate 21st century common skills such as communication, collaboration and problem-solving to face different challenges in future society.

At the same time, as innovation and technology education has become a new trend in teaching, the school has also actively promoted the development of STEAM education, established a new school-based curriculum of "Higher-Order Thinking Training", and produced school-based thinking booklets to build systematic thinking training and develop common abilities for students. The teaching team also carries out computational thinking education in senior primary schools. By participating in the "Jockey Club Computational Thinking Education" project, a teaching model that closely links the three categories of "concept", "practice" and "vision" is established, allowing students to organically combine subject knowledge with life, inspire digital creativity, thereby strengthening logical thinking and problem-solving skills, and preparing for the ever-changing digital world. The school has created a good culture of innovation and technology, and students have also won good results in various science and technology competitions, such as winning the championship in the "3rd Hengyi Technology Cup - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Workshop and Basketball Competition", winning the runner-up and third place respectively in the "Eastern District x Tung Wah Drone Racing Competition", and winning the bronze level in the "Underwater Robot Competition 2022". The outstanding performance of students is not only an affirmation of learning achievements, but also an encouragement to the teaching team.

Establish a caring culture and cultivate positive values

The school upholds the spirit of serving the society and caring for those in need in the society. It is committed to establishing a caring culture on campus and spreading this positive atmosphere to every student. It teaches students to be grateful, have the courage to take responsibility, and practice caring for the people around them. Principal Chen said: "The school cultivates students to establish positive values ​​from the aspects of policy, teacher and parent education, and designs a series of positive activities and plans to take care of students' physical and mental development and growth needs, such as the Love Ambassador Program, Primary 1 New Student Adaptation Activities, Primary 100-Day Banquet, Appreciate You, Birthday Party, Meditation Practice, Exam Refueling Station, and Positive Super Kids Electronic reward programs, etc. The school has successfully created a pleasant and colorful campus life for students and implemented a positive and caring campus culture. The school's excellent values education has been awarded the honor of "Caring Campus" and has been praised and recognized by the outside world.

Provide diverse activity opportunities to develop different potential talents

Since its establishment, the school has firmly believed that every child is unique and has different potentials. Therefore, in addition to focusing on students' subject learning, we have also been providing students with all-round learning activities, allowing students to apply knowledge in experiential activities, enhance the depth and breadth of learning, explore their own interests and characteristics, develop their potential, and better plan their future development path. The teaching team comprehensively takes care of the diversity of students' learning and designs learning activities starting from seven major areas: linguistic intelligence, mathematical logic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, musical intelligence, physical coordination intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence and creative ability, constructing a broad and in-depth diversified learning experience for students, so that they can become outstanding generalists with multi-directional development in literature, sports and arts.

Optimize the campus environment to meet the growth needs of students

The school has a beautiful environment. In addition to classrooms, there are many special teaching rooms, as well as a vast green area and a food waste machine. Various flowers and trees are planted inside and outside the campus to create a vibrant learning environment. Students can be exposed to nature from an early age and develop an awareness of greening and environmental conservation. In recent years, the school has gradually optimized the campus environment and added various teaching facilities and facilities. Through comprehensive planning and expansion of learning and activity spaces, we create a learning environment with a sense of belonging and success for students. This year, the school also completed a number of new facilities, including a climbing wall, game room, sports intelligence center, student activity center, organic garden, toy library, etc. The school understands that children in the developmental stage need multi-sensory stimulation and increased muscle training, so the school has set up a rock climbing wall so that students can not only exercise their small hand muscles through rock climbing, but also improve their pen-holding posture, sense of space and hand-eye coordination, so as to achieve more comprehensive physical and mental growth.
