Facing the world, cultivating talents and becoming the pillars of society in the new era

TWGHs Tseng Hin Pei Primary School Based on the school philosophy of "facing the world and cultivating talents", we are committed to promoting the all-round development of students. Through the design of "SMILE" special school-based courses, we create a positive learning environment that is pleasant, full of vitality and a sense of belonging for students, and cultivate them with knowledge, skills, attitude, and the courage to face different challenges. Principal Jian Junda leads the teaching team to focus on school-based curriculum, teaching support and positive education to help students develop multiple intelligences, lay a solid knowledge foundation, and become pillars of society in the new era who love learning and pursue knowledge.

"S-M-I-L-E" special course develops common skills

In order to take care of students' overall development needs, the school breaks through the traditional teaching framework, integrates and optimizes class arrangements, and divides the timetable into regular courses in the morning and special courses in the afternoon. The school uses "SMILE" as the educational concept of its special curriculum, which includes: Self-directed Learning, Moral Education, Intelligence, Learning with Fun and Excellence, in order to cultivate students to care about society, love the country, and have an international perspective, knowledge and skills. At the same time, in the "SMILE" course, the school will promote five major teaching areas: potential development (expert admission/career planning), global citizenship (values/positive education/world perspective), talent training (learning from practice), travel service (travel/service learning), and innovation and technology education (STEAM), thereby promoting the diversified development of students.

Principal Jian said: "In the experience-based 'travel course', teachers will lead students out of the classroom, starting from exploring the community, then understanding the development of the country, and even looking at the world, cultivating students' independent abilities and broadening their knowledge fields through 'travel'; the 'learn to apply' comprehensive course includes training in debate, recitation, drama, etc. to teach students to apply subject knowledge to daily life; the global citizenship course aims to cultivate students' common 21st century skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity and imagination; STEAM Education promotes interdisciplinary learning and implements the 3C (CaringConnected-Creative) education concept, allowing students to gain gains in problem-solving and innovation. Experts in the "Multiple Intelligences Class" invite experts in music, sports and art to guide students and help students explore their interests and expertise. "

Immersive English learning to broaden international horizons

English is an important communication tool for international exchanges. Principal Jian is well versed in cultivating students' good English skills to help them connect with the world and establish an international perspective. Therefore, the school is committed to creating a strong English learning atmosphere and designing immersive school-based English courses to consolidate students' English foundation and face the world. In the first week of school for primary school freshmen, foreign teachers and local teachers will collaborate to hold a week-long "English Day Camp" to allow students to immerse themselves in an English environment and hone their speaking skills and self-confidence. In addition, the school will also use English supplementary teaching materials in mathematics and general knowledge subjects to enrich students’ English learning experience and help them gain a foothold in different international fields in the future.

School sponsoring groups provide full support to promote students’ multi-faceted development

The school sponsoring body fully supports the school's diversified educational development, provides sufficient resources to improve the school's teaching facilities, organizes diversified extracurricular activities, and assists in organizing different joint school activities to cater for the different learning needs of students. With the support of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, in addition to infrastructure, the school has also specially set up a physical fitness development center and a rock climbing wall to allow students to achieve balanced development in social, emotional and physical aspects. In addition, the school has also combined the music room and the visual arts room into an "Art World" as a space for students to display their artistic achievements. In addition, in order to promote the development of STEAM education, the school also has facilities such as a science and technology exploration center, an observatory, a natural exploration garden, a multi-sensory garden, and a nature education trail, allowing students to explore the mysteries of the world and build a spirit of scientific inquiry.
