Cultivate innovative problem-solving abilities, integrate diverse learning elements, and equip yourself with future competitiveness

CCC Tam Lee Lai Fun Memorial Secondary SchoolAdhering to the spirit of Christ, we are committed to cultivating students' ability to distinguish right from wrong, self-discipline and self-love, establish good interpersonal relationships, and achieve the goal of lifelong learning. Principal Yan Oi Ling advocates the integration of diverse learning elements to nurture future social talents. The school has always been aiming to inspire students' potential and firmly believes that students have their own potential, so that students can develop their talents during their six-year secondary school career. Therefore, the school uses forward-looking curriculum planning to equip students with independent learning abilities, communication skills, innovative abilities and problem-solving abilities to meet future challenges.

Targeted classroom research "Four Studies" framework promotes self-study ability

Principal Yan Oi LingWe understand that knowledge is infinite, so it is necessary for students to master lifelong learning skills to prepare themselves for the ever-changing world in the future. To this end, the school actively promotes independent learning and enhances students' learning motivation. The teaching team regularly conducts classroom research and jointly prepares lessons on the same subject to gain an in-depth understanding of students' understanding of different topics and learning difficulties, and then uses the "Four Studies" framework to design classrooms. Principal Yan Oi LingExplanation: "The "Four Learnings" include "self-study", "joint learning", "mutual learning" and "guidance". "Self-study" refers to students' pre-class preview; "joint learning" refers to completing learning tasks in groups in the classroom; " "Mutual learning" means that groups learn from each other through mutual evaluation; "guiding" means that teachers provide guidance on their learning difficulties through students' performance, reports, and sharing, so as to help students learn clearly, learn easily, and learn interestingly."

When students are devoted to learning, they can naturally actively explore and master knowledge in different subjects. The teaching team will also continuously optimize the lesson plans during this process to make students' knowledge construction more solid and enriched. The school hopes that under this teaching model, students can stimulate their interest in learning, develop independent learning habits, and then master learning strategies. When students master the above-mentioned most basic and core independent learning abilities, they will be able to draw inferences from one example and apply them to learning any new knowledge in the future to achieve the effect of lifelong learning.

Promote experiential learning and use knowledge to give back to the community

On the road of growth, students will inevitably encounter different difficulties and challenges. As students continue to accumulate experience in solving problems, they will have the confidence to face other different problems. The school has specially implemented the "1.5-kilometer experiential learning circle", which sets up different learning points within a 1.5-kilometer radius centered on the campus to encourage students to apply the knowledge they have learned. For example, we monitor the water quality of the nearby Tuen Mun River, measure the water quality changes from the source of the Tuen Mun River to the vicinity of the school, analyze the causes of water quality changes, and then propose solutions to purify water quality. We apply the knowledge of filtration system production taught by the Science Department and fully experience the entire scientific inquiry and experiment process, thereby building common abilities such as problem solving, analysis, and collaboration. At the same time, the school also hopes that students will give back their knowledge to the society, actively explore various issues in the community or find out the difficulties in life, so as to think of solutions. To this end, the school cooperates with non-profit organizations and arranges students to conduct air pollution monitoring on the nearby Tuen Mun Highway. Through an inspiring education model, the school cultivates students' civic responsibilities and is willing to serve the community.

Constructing a "Friendly Community School" Equipping Interpersonal Communication Skills

Interpersonal communication skills are an indispensable part of success. In recent years, the school has actively promoted the concept of "Friendly Community School". Principal Yan Oi Ling pointed out that this concept originated from the "Community Sharing Investment Fund" project, which allows the elderly and students in the district to receive simple exercise training in schools. The school will arrange volunteer training for students to learn different skills first, and then "go out" to help the elderly in need. During this process, students need to communicate with the elders and understand their needs, which will help cultivate students' empathy. At the same time, by visiting different communities, students also learn interpersonal communication skills while interacting with people, and learn to care about the needs of different people. Earlier during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school arranged for students to make glutinous rice dumplings with the elderly to promote the integration of young and old, cultivate a sentiment of humanistic care and reflect social responsibility.

Introduce social innovation elements and cultivate entrepreneurial spirit

Education is not limited to the academic level. The school introduces social innovation elements, encourages students to "hands-on", strengthens community participation, applies the knowledge they have learned to practical situations, and cultivates students to become talents needed by society in the future. This year, the school cooperates with the "Social Innovation Campus" project jointly organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Feng Feng Society of Social Enterprise to launch a "Social Entrepreneurship Workshop". In addition to deepening students' understanding of the community, it can also inspire students to come up with "new ideas" to solve social problems through social innovation and social entrepreneurship. Assistant Principal He Shuxian added: "The school's social innovation and social entrepreneurship program aims to allow students to understand existing problems in society through the process of volunteer service. If students can respond to social needs during their studies, it will be very helpful for students' future career development. At the same time, we also hope that students will cultivate entrepreneurship (Entrepreneurship), understand the importance of citizenship and corporate responsibility, practice correct values, and promote sustainable development of society."

Multi-level career planning to explore future development directions

From Form 1 to Form 6, the school is committed to providing multi-level plans to help students establish their own future development direction during their learning career. For example, a career planning class is set up for Form 4 students to explore different education channels and industry development directions; the school also provides Form 6 students with support in university subject selection and a mentorship program to help them make wise and informed choices. In addition to on-campus career planning activities, the school also arranges for students to participate in the "Project WeCan School Startup Program" and other activities organized by tertiary institutions. Principal Yan Oi Ling revealed that the school is planning to let students experience the aviation industry. Through continuous exploration, they can more clearly find their own future path and work hard to achieve 34 personal goals.

Establishing "Tan Primary and Secondary School Stage" to inspire potential education

The school has always attached great importance to inspiring the potential development of students and helping them to show their talents. Principal Yan Oi Ling said: "Students are all diamonds in the rough. We need to provide different learning opportunities and encourage them to participate more and explore their own expertise and highlights." Therefore, the school provides students with diversified activities to give students all-round opportunities to develop from different perspectives. This school year, the school specially set up a "Tan Primary and Secondary School Stage" to arrange designs and performances for junior high school students to explore students' innovative ideas, strengthen communication among peers, and cultivate problem-solving skills. The teaching team can use this to understand the students' potential and expertise and provide targeted guidance. The school has cultivated many elite talents in different fields over the years, and they have performed outstandingly in various fields. This year, many alumni represented Hong Kong in the Hangzhou Asian Games, bringing glory to Hong Kong.

Properly support students and cater for learning diversity

The school is committed to catering for the learning needs of different students and has implemented inclusive education since 2004. Teacher Chen Mingji, director of the Integrated Education Committee, said: "Every year on the Secondary One registration day, we will pay close attention and observe the needs of new students, provide appropriate support, and help students fall in love with learning and improve themselves through care and patience. At the same time, the school will also arrange for teachers to attend seminars to absorb more knowledge and experience from other schools' sharing, helping students better develop their natural potential." Teacher Chen Mingji was recommended by the Education Bureau and awarded the "Chief Executive's Community Service Award".
