Gratitude ‧ Respect ‧ Commitment Practice positive values ​​and become a pillar of society with both talent and virtue

Pui Tak Canossian Primary School has been established in the Southern District of Hong Kong for more than 125 years. Since its founding, the school has been adhering to the educational philosophy of "establishing oneself and others, loving the Lord and the world", providing students with high-quality holistic education, cultivating children's balanced development of moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual education, enabling them to establish positive values ​​​​and attitudes, and allowing students to learn to be good neighbors and contribute to society. The school attaches great importance to establishing a caring culture on campus, actively promotes value education, and uses gratitude, respect, and responsibility as core elements, so that students can build a positive life through different learning activities during their six years of primary school life, and have the courage to face challenges.

Learning and teaching features

The school is committed to promoting a caring culture, focusing on heuristic education. By combining moral education and civic education, disciplinary activities, and religious cultivation, different value elements are infiltrated into various subject groups and growth courses, and the character development of students is cultivated in a whole-school participation model. Step by step from the four levels of "knowledge", "emotion", "meaning" and "action", it touches students' emotions. For example, through picture book education, film education, etc., students are inspired to construct values ​​and then apply them in practice in life to achieve the integration of "learning", "thinking" and "action".

In addition, in order to encourage more students to participate in school activities so that they can strengthen their sense of belonging and connection with the school and discover their own strengths and highlights, the school has specially designed diversified activities for students to participate in, and implemented activities in different modes for different targets, such as whole-school participation, level-based and group modes, so that students who are usually more passive can also participate in activities and enhance their self-worth.

Multiple teaching strategies

In order to improve students' English proficiency, the school adopts multiple English teaching strategies, interdisciplinary courses and Language Out Loud (LOL) teaching methods. Through diversified reading and interdisciplinary learning, students improve their knowledge absorption and language skills. The school also actively promotes English reading, setting up "smart lending machines" and "Reading Café", and setting up an online learning platform to allow students to review course content at any time in the form of e-Learning.

Happiness exists in "Jia" Happiness exists in "home"

The school attaches great importance to the physical, mental and spiritual development of students and cultivates positive values. Through "Failure Week" activities, national security value education activities and "service learning", the school cultivates students' perseverance, embracing failure and giving back to the society. Principal Sister Ting pointed out that the school arranges "service learning" for students at each level to build a heart of giving back and serving the society from an early age, and extends the spirit of care from school to family, and then gradually to the community. The school also uses movies as a medium for life education and promotes the "Light and Shadow - Film Life Education" project, which uses movies to present different life situations, allowing students to explore the value and meaning of life, establish positive values ​​​​and a positive outlook on life, and enhance students' sense of happiness. The school's efforts have been recognized by society and won multiple positive education awards.

Add multiple intelligence classes

The school has specially designed "Multiple Intelligence Classes" for students of all levels, and conducts STEAM teaching every Friday to cultivate students' creative thinking and problem-solving abilities, apply knowledge to daily life, and achieve the effect of applying what they have learned. The school actively participates in various types of off-campus support programs to enhance the learning and teaching effectiveness of STEAM education, and successfully applied for the Jockey Club "CoolThink @ JC" program, allowing students in primary four to primary six to systematically learn programming knowledge, improve their computational thinking and problem-solving skills, and experience the educational significance brought by technology.

Building a caring campus

The school implements the "Big Sisters Peer Growth" program, which pairs upper primary and junior primary students with "mentors" so that junior primary students can be accompanied by big sisters, and at the same time, senior primary students are encouraged to serve as role models to take care of their younger brothers and sisters. Principal Sister Ding added: "The school maintains a good relationship with kindergartens in the district. By organizing various community activities, it helps students build a sense of responsibility and understand the diversity of social development. For example, it holds connection activities for kindergarten students, allowing the teaching team and kindergarten teachers to prepare lessons together, understand each other's curriculum and arrange experience classes. This allows the 'pre-primary students' to experience the primary school's learning model in advance, which will help their future academic connections. At the same time, the school held a visit to kindergartens this year, focusing on three topics of 'light, sound and electricity' STEAM education promotes academic exchanges among primary schools in the district and allows students and parents who are about to enter primary school to understand the development of innovation and technology education in our school.”
