Lead children to be happy to learn and think well, and open up a prosperous life in the future

Hon Wah College (Primary Section) With the development focus of "Live Life, Set sail with Dreams", we are committed to creating diversified learning experiences, providing students with a colorful campus life, and a growth environment full of love and warmth. Vice Principal Ou Huishan, who is in charge of the primary school, has rich experience in curriculum planning, grasps the development trends of society and education, keeps pace with the times and closely follows the school-based curriculum and learning themes to help students consolidate knowledge points in different fields. Through innovative and forward-looking curriculum design, the school inspires students' diversified development and lays a solid foundation for learning.

School-based whole-class gifted teaching creates diverse learning experiences

The school implements the three core values of "opportunities, resources and encouragement", promotes the learning concept of "school-based whole-class gifted teaching", enriches students' learning experiences through diversified activities, and helps them build a sense of success. The school makes good use of "brain science-based teaching strategies" and combines years of experience in "higher-order thinking training" and "cooperative learning methods" to enhance students' concentration and participation in learning, making learning full of vitality. With its diverse and innovative curriculum design and teaching methods, the school promotes the whole-person development of students, cultivates their creativity, logic, communication and other abilities, and takes care of the diversity of learning. It was even invited by the Education Bureau to share its educational philosophy.

Make good use of the advantages of DSS schools and use flexible bilingual teaching strategies

As a direct subsidy school, Hon Wah College (Primary Section) not only has flexible courses and strong autonomy, but also focuses on the well-being of students, adhering to the teaching philosophy of pioneering and trial-based, diversified innovation, and enriching students' learning experience. The school focuses on students' biliteracy and trilingual development, and flexibly formulates bilingual teaching policies. In addition to holding English Days every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, its visual arts classes are also taught in English to help students accumulate English vocabulary and deepen their knowledge. Therefore, the school’s graduates can not only easily connect to school-based courses in secondary schools, but their solid knowledge foundation will provide them with sufficient nutrients for their development.

Interdisciplinary theme learning, combining courses and inspections

Interdisciplinary thematic learning can help cultivate students' ability to comprehensively apply subject knowledge, help them discover their strengths and abilities, and enhance their learning confidence. The school continues to optimize curriculum content and integrate it across disciplines. It is not limited to STEAM, but its teaching content also covers Chinese, English, visual arts, music and other fields. Interdisciplinary courses also incorporate elements of field trips and outdoor exploration to enhance students' initiative and enthusiasm and build 21st century capabilities. Vice-Chancellor Au said, "School-based curriculum and interdisciplinary learning are closely linked to each other, and the two complement each other in an all-round way. For example, after teaching Hong Kong history, teachers will lead students to visit Mei Ho House, the Hong Kong Museum of History, Ping Shan Heritage Trail and other venues to teach students to understand the historical changes in Hong Kong and experience various cultures and knowledge firsthand." Thanks to the school's flexible adjustment of class time, school-based curriculum learning is conducted in the morning and experiential teaching is arranged in the afternoon to increase the flexibility of the curriculum and build an all-round learning experience for students.

Foresighted adjustments to the curriculum to cultivate “knowledge leaders”

Flexible curriculum arrangement and planning can help students learn more deeply and broadly. The Education Bureau announced that the general knowledge subject in primary schools will be split into science subjects and humanities subjects. In order to enable students to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills, the school has made far-sighted adjustments to the curriculum framework. More than ten years ago, the school extracted scientific content from the general knowledge curriculum and established the "Science Subject". The course is taught entirely in English because most primary materials in the science field are written in English. The school hopes to teach science in English so that students can develop the habit of learning in English, further consolidate their language foundation, and inspire innovative thinking. The school also implements the concept of more participation, more attempts, and more discussions, using imagination and creativity to explain different scientific principles in the learning process, and must cultivate students to become "knowledge leaders."

STEAM education keeps pace with the times and comprehensively applies subject knowledge

学校大力推动 STEAM 教育，善用资源持续优化学习环境，今年更新落成「STEAM STATION」科创站，为学生提供更多元、全面的创科学习体验。教学团队致力于为一至六年级学生设计系统化的编程课程，配合科创站的实际应用，以提升同学的资讯科技能力，能够学习并掌握编程的知识，培养解难能力。同时，学校透过「5E 探究教学法」设计校本科学探究课程，强化各级所学的主题内容，教导学生撰写科学科研习报告，借着资料搜集、整理、分析、综合、反思等过程，深化课堂所学。此外，学校更鼓励学生参与不同创科比赛及活动，如航拍机比赛、纸飞机比赛、STEM 专题研习日等，从中启发创科潜能，将知识融会贯通。
