Focus on excellence in both character and academics, plan special courses, and cultivate high-quality talents in society

Buddhist Tai Hung College Over the years, we have adhered to the spirit of the school motto of "Wiseness Reveals Compassion", and through the guidance of the teaching team and the transmission of Buddhist spirit, we are committed to enlightening students' wisdom and promoting all-round development. Principal Chiu Hong Ming leads the teaching team to adopt flexible teaching strategies, provide rich and diverse learning experiences, and teach students to practice positive values, so that they can achieve balanced development of moral, intellectual, physical, social, and aesthetic education, and become pillars of society in the future, contributing to national development and progress.

Diversified STEAM education, incorporating interdisciplinary learning elements

In the ever-changing era of innovation and technology, the school grasps social development trends, actively promotes STEAM education, and creates a strong innovation and technology learning atmosphere. The school integrates STEAM education elements into science, computer, art and other subjects to continuously and coherently cultivate students' interest in innovative technology. Principal Chiu Hong Ming pointed out: "The school is committed to laying a solid foundation for science and technology innovation for junior high school students, and focuses on the practice and application of science and technology for high school students." To this end, the school regularly organizes different interdisciplinary learning activities, such as purchasing a simulated aircraft system, and inviting civil aviation instructors to explain and teach, so that students can immersively experience the operation methods of flying devices, and closely integrate technological knowledge with daily life.

In addition, the teaching team integrates traditional Chinese festivals and artistic creations, implements the concept of interdisciplinary learning, and cultivates students' common abilities such as communication and collaboration. Earlier, in order to tie in with the tradition of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school arranged for students to make "rabbit lanterns" together to stimulate their creative thinking. The outstanding works of the students even won the runner-up in the "Travel Lantern Design and Construction Competition". At the same time, the school encourages students to actively participate in innovation and technology competitions within or outside the school, providing opportunities to showcase their creativity and practical skills. Through exchanges with other peers, they can not only broaden their horizons and knowledge areas, but also develop problem-solving abilities, laying a good foundation for future academic and career development.

Diverse learning experiences to broaden international horizons

The school not only pays attention to students' academic performance, but also pays attention to the moral education of students, guiding them to achieve both academic excellence and overall development. The school is committed to organizing different types of cultural activities and adding elements related to national education in various subjects. Even during the epidemic, the school still led students to visit museums online to enhance their cultural literacy. For example, through murals, they learned about the historical background and cultural heritage of China at that time, and deepened their understanding of Chinese culture and historical processes. As society returns to normal, the school has organized various exchange study tours to Jiangxi, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and other places to allow students to experience the cultural characteristics of different places.

Principal Chiu Hong Ming said: "Earlier we led our students to participate in the Hong Kong Jiangxi Association (Friendship) The "Sparkling Red Star·Jiangxi Journey" 2023 Hong Kong Youth Jiangxi Exchange Group and "Japanese Zen Meditation and Art and Culture Experience Tour" organized by the Federation hope that students can learn architectural art, Zen meditation, Buddhism and other knowledge through the exchange group, enrich their learning experience, and improve their art appreciation ability. "Participating in the exchange group can help students increase their cross-cultural understanding and communication skills, learn to interact with students from different countries and regions, thereby cultivating a respectful and inclusive mentality and practicing positive values.

Integrating Buddhist education and cultivating good moral character

Principal Chiu Hong Ming Cares for students, values ​​the personal growth of every student, and hopes that they will achieve all-round and balanced development. Therefore, the school integrates Buddhist values ​​​​into positive education, cultivating students to have ten important qualities and attitudes: "perseverance", "respect for others", "responsibility", "national identity", "spirit of responsibility", "integrity", "caring", "observance of the law", "empathy" and "hard work". These values ​​​​also reflect Principal Chiu Hong Ming’s thoughtful care for students. The principal will send a handwritten birthday card to each student on their birthday, giving sincere blessings and high hopes, making students feel respected and cared for, thereby enhancing their self-worth. In addition, in addition to offering meditation courses, the school also has an "Awakening Pavilion" and a "Meditation Room" for teachers and students to meditate and meditate. It helps students cultivate their bodies and minds before class. It also plays a role in improving concentration and relaxing the body and mind for the whole day of classes, and integrates the spirit of Buddhism into daily life.

Establish positive values and cultivate citizen awareness

As students grow up, they tend to feel lost and anxious. In order to help students establish a positive attitude towards life and learning, the school has specially set up a ethics group and co-organized the "V JUMP" positive youth training program with the service corps, the Home Affairs and Youth Affairs Bureau and other organizations, allowing students to practice self-understanding and self-realization through a series of workshops. They can also serve and contribute to society through booth activities, sharing sessions, etc., and provide assistance to disadvantaged groups in society, thereby strengthening their understanding of civil rights, obligations and responsibilities. Therefore, in addition to enlightening students' wisdom, the school pays more attention to cultivating their compassion and healthy lifestyle, and enhancing their sense of responsibility and mutual love.

At the same time, the school will offer a "Second One Preparatory Course" during the summer vacation every year to lead new students to understand the campus environment and teaching atmosphere, create a sense of belonging to the school, and enhance their sense of investment in learning. In addition, all Form 1 students are required to join a uniformed team to cultivate self-discipline, self-management and team spirit. The school also specially hires professional instructors to conduct footwork training for students to enhance their willpower and self-confidence, so that they can face any challenges with a positive attitude in the next 6 years of middle school life.

Make good use of e-learning to improve learning effectiveness

The school makes good use of electronic teaching tools, which not only improves classroom interactivity, but also stimulates students' interest in learning and further enhances their learning effects. The school applied for the Quality Education Fund and added large interactive touch screens (electronic whiteboards) to classrooms to provide an up-to-date educational environment and learning equipment. Teachers and students can draw and write on the whiteboard at any time, effectively promoting higher-level classroom collaboration and creating a diverse learning experience. In addition to using tablets and software such as Nearpod and Kahoot! to improve teaching flexibility, the teaching team also helps students master the correct use of electronic technology to welcome the new era of information technology.

Career Planning Education Seize Future Development Opportunities

The school provides students with full support for their career planning, helping them explore their personal areas of interest and gain a deeper understanding of themselves, thereby formulating clear personal plans and career goals to expand diversified future paths. Teachers will have an in-depth understanding of the learning and life needs of different students and arrange a full range of learning activities for them, such as adding career planning education elements to class teacher classes, organizing students to participate in lectures on college entrance counseling and career planning, and arranging workplace experience activities, so that students can find their own development direction as early as possible, and teachers can provide better targeted guidance. The school also encourages students to explore inwardly and expand outward, to realize their personal ideals by understanding themselves and the surrounding environment, and to give back to society in the future.
