Innovative learning experience, improve English, master innovation and technology thinking

Fung Kai Innovative School is committed to providing an excellent learning environment, designing a comprehensive and balanced school-based curriculum, cultivating students' all-round development with equal emphasis on moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic education, helping them to establish positive and positive values, and preparing to give back to the society in the future. The school implements the "student-centered" concept, which not only lays a foundation of knowledge for students, but also cultivates them to become innovative learners equipped with 21st century skills. Principal Liu Liqing attaches great importance to the multi-faceted development of students and leads the teaching team to provide interdisciplinary and diversified learning experiences in areas such as English, innovative technology, and sports and arts, so that students can spread their wings and realize their dreams.

Recruit additional foreign teachers to improve English reading skills

English is an internationally accepted language. Cultivating students' good English skills will help them face the world and enhance their competitiveness. Therefore, the school actively creates an international English learning environment. In addition to a foreign teacher arranged by the Education Bureau, it also hires three additional English tutors to strengthen the creation of a rich English campus atmosphere. They are arranged to serve as deputy class teachers of the class to create more opportunities for students to be exposed to and apply English. In addition to teaching English, foreign teachers will also be responsible for teaching STEAM and mathematics-related courses, as well as training students' English interview and conversation skills to help them enter their favorite middle schools in the future. Principal Liu added: "The school implements the "student-centered" educational philosophy and takes care of students' learning needs at different stages. The teaching team will first understand and evaluate the English proficiency of each primary school freshman, and then arrange for one foreign teacher to teach six students in the Guided Reading class, allowing students to read corresponding English books and perform activities, gradually improving their English ability, cultivating reading habits, and mastering language learning skills."

Make good use of educational technology to explore the potential of scientific innovation

The school actively carries out STEAM education, uses innovative technology to improve learning and teaching effectiveness, and inspires students' creative thinking and problem-solving abilities through interdisciplinary learning to help them realize their scientific and creative potential. The school has implemented the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program for many years, effectively promoting students’ classroom communication and peer collaborative learning, and cultivating self-study habits. In addition, teachers will also design diverse learning activities for students based on the teaching content. For example, teachers of general knowledge and English subjects will use VR and AR technologies to create natural scenes such as oceans and forests, allowing students to immerse themselves in experiencing and understanding the natural environment and biodiversity.

Principal Liu said, "The school is committed to providing children with different "hands-on" opportunities, and has set up a "Creative Dream Factory" to allow students to apply different innovative technologies and cultivate their interest in science and technology. For example, the Computer Science Department teaches students to use "CoSpaces" to create VR games; the General Studies Department uses "micro:bit" to make smart cargo cabinets; the Visual Arts Department uses "Sketchup" to design name brands and perform laser cutting; and uses "Tinkercad" software to design tea cups; in addition, the Chinese Department also allows students to use VR Observe the scenery of the four seasons and create new poems, etc. This year, an immersive VR pavilion has been added to allow students to experience different interactive scenes and improve learning efficiency. "The school has penetrated STEAM education elements into various subjects, allowing students to gradually inspire creative thinking and build problem-solving abilities through the interdisciplinary learning process, and then gain a sense of success and enhance their self-confidence in learning.

Carry out interdisciplinary learning to broaden students’ horizons

Principal Liu understands that experiential learning can help strengthen the connection between knowledge and life and enhance students’ learning motivation. To this end, the school makes good use of its unique resources to create diversified learning experiences for students. For example, in the interdisciplinary project study, the teacher designed the "Observe Kapok and Understand Life" activity with the kapok tree on campus as the theme. Through the school-based picture book "Little Seeds, Big Heroes", students were taught to make leaf vein bookmarks and use kapok to make herbal tea. It also incorporated elements of Chinese intangible culture and positive education. Through the design of "informed and intentional" activities, the teaching team allows each student to understand his own value and expertise, so as to realize his potential.

At the same time, the school also arranges various types of overseas exchanges and field trips, leading students to visit New Zealand, Sichuan, Shanghai, Fuzhou and other places for exchanges, experience the culture and customs of different places in the world, and broaden their international horizons. In addition, in terms of sports development, the school allows students to participate in emerging sports such as golf and archery, and arranges foreign rugby coaches to teach students rugby skills, so that students can learn authentic English conversation from foreign coaches in addition to sports, enriching the learning experience. In the new school year, students of all levels can even take swimming lessons in the brand new "Jockey Club Fung Creek Indoor Swimming Center" in the sports hall, which can be said to be a lot of fun.
