Pay equal attention to knowledge and moral character, provide diverse and high-quality education, and cultivate lifelong learners.

F.D.B.W.A. Chow Chin Yau SchoolWe are committed to providing diversified high-quality education, respecting the uniqueness of each child, and striving to discover and develop students’ talents and potential, so as to cultivate their balanced development in moral, intellectual, physical, social, and aesthetic education. They can grow in a pleasant learning environment, find their own self-worth and development goals, and become dream chasers who have dreams and dare to accept challenges. The new principal, Zheng Lijuan, has rich experience in teaching and curriculum design. She leads the teaching team to create a comfortable and enjoyable learning environment for students. She hopes that they can enjoy learning and love learning, and then develop a sense of pleasure and competence in learning, and gradually develop into lifelong learners.

Diversified Teaching Strategies Designing Innovative School-Based Curriculum

In an environment of constant technological innovation and transformation, society needs diversified talents with a wide range of knowledge and abilities to cope with the general trend of cross-disciplinary collaboration. The school has many years of experience in school-based curriculum design and cooperates with teachers’ continuous professional development to provide students with a balanced and comprehensive learning process. At the same time, the school has been keeping pace with the times, implementing the concept of interdisciplinary learning, developing students' comprehensive application abilities, and comprehensively consolidating students' knowledge base by promoting in-depth learning.

Principal Zheng said: "The school will regularly think and discuss the current development situation and needs of society, and then continue to optimize the school-based curriculum and construct "connection points" for learning so that students can develop the ability to integrate knowledge. In addition, the teaching team will also combine different innovative ideas to develop new teaching strategies. For example, during the epidemic, teachers across the school collaborated to design an experiential learning course that combined interdisciplinary learning elements and comprehensively took into account the development of students' knowledge, abilities, and attitudes. The course also covers value education, STEAM In different fields such as education, appropriate teaching themes will also cooperate with national and national security education to strengthen students’ national identity and deepen their cultural literacy.”

Optimize class arrangement and practice experiential learning

The school understands that learning is not limited to the classroom; life experience is equally important. To this end, the school has re-optimized and integrated the class schedule, concentrating subject classes in the morning; experiential learning is conducted in the afternoon, taking into account students' cultural, sports and artistic development. At the same time, the school organizes diversified learning activities, such as the "Rope Net Experience" and sets up a "Rope Net Array" in the auditorium, where students can climb using ropes with the help of professional coaches. In the process, students can not only cultivate team spirit, but also overcome personal fears, develop a perseverance mentality, and better meet different learning challenges.

Promote "Ecological Science and Technology" and integrate ecology and life education

STEAM learning covers many areas, such as programming, artificial intelligence, VR, etc. In recent years, the school has further developed ecological education, combining subject knowledge with daily life to create an immersive learning experience for students. Principal Zheng pointed out that the ecological environment is closely related to human life. The school organically combines natural ecology, environmental conservation, value education and other topics to develop school-based ecological courses. In the new school year, "Ecological Science and Technology" (EST) will be launched in the fourth grade.

The school makes good use of campus space and transforms the rooftop into a learning platform for sustainable development and ecological education. The small flower garden and underground passage are also turned into a butterfly garden and a plant learning trail respectively. Students can not only try planting on the rooftop, but also cultivate butterflies in small flower beds and observe the growth characteristics of different animals and plants. Through the ecological garden, the school effectively implements the concepts of interdisciplinary learning and experiential teaching, guiding students to discuss issues such as sustainable development and ecological balance, and cultivating their gratitude and cherishing of nature, and practicing positive values.

Deepen Chinese cultural education and cultivate good moral sentiments

The school has profound experience in Chinese cultural education and has always been aiming to "cultivate people with moral integrity" and is committed to cultivating children to establish good moral qualities. In addition to combining classical literature with Chinese culture and designing an independent school-based curriculum, the school further integrates Chinese culture into different courses, subjects, and even the campus environment. For example, the school has a "Chinese Culture Corridor" on which world-famous historical buildings such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City are painted to deepen students' understanding of the motherland.

Principal Zheng added: "Chinese culture has a long history, and literary classics are the treasures of Chinese civilization. Therefore, the school uses literary classics as teaching materials, and cooperates with drama and creative activities to enhance students' knowledge and reading skills in an interesting way, and inspire them We will also use our creativity to inherit the fine traditions and connotations of China from literary classics. In addition, the school will also organize "Cultural Day" activities to allow students to understand the artistic characteristics of Chinese culture through activities such as wearing Hanfu, coloring with nine-color deer, and Dunhuang Feitian painting."
