Encourage exploration and inspire potential to help students spread their wings and fly high

Buddhist Chan Wing Kan Memorial School attaches great importance to cultivating moral character, adheres to the spirit of the school motto of "being wise and showing compassion", and is committed to providing students with high-quality education. In the school's three-year focus project, the school focuses on "Positive Campus" and "Achieving the Future", and specifically divides the afternoon session into multiple intelligence classes, starting from the four key points of improving biliteracy and trilingual skills, growth needs, achieving the future, and physical and artistic development. Principal Chen Manlin leads the teaching team to provide diversified learning opportunities and activities, so that students can have a richer learning experience outside of classroom learning, so that they can develop common abilities such as communication, criticality, collaboration, creativity, self-management, and the use of information technology, cultivate lifelong learning abilities and interests, and promote whole-person development.

Diversified language activities to lay a solid foundation for biliteracy and trilingualism

Biliteracy and trilingualism are indispensable skills for students to grow up. Through diversified language activities, students can lay a solid foundation for biliteracy and trilingualism. In terms of Chinese language activities, teachers will use picture books, ancient prose and Chinese classic stories, such as "Journey to the West", to enhance students' interest and ability in reading. In terms of Mandarin activities, the teacher led the students to read Tang poems in Mandarin. While practicing Mandarin, they also learned about the poems. This was supplemented by the "Mandarin True Reading" e-learning platform to encourage students to develop the habit of independent learning.

In terms of English, the emphasis is on constructing an English context. The school has four full-time foreign English teachers to support English teaching and interact with students in English. Daily English activities are theme-based and combined with games and activities for learning. For example, arranging English day activities, having foreign teachers accompany students on outings, etc., to learn English in different fields. The school sponsoring organization has also invested a lot of resources to support the development of English subjects in schools. It has collaborated with the Education University to develop an innovative English learning system called "Primary One Entrance English Assessment" to assess the English proficiency of primary one freshmen. It uses technology to improve learning effectiveness and lay a solid foundation in English for children. After six years, they will have good English skills and be admitted to the secondary school of their choice.

Promote the development of innovation and technology education, keep pace with the times and achieve the future

Technology is a major trend in today’s generation, and education must also keep pace with the times. Therefore, the school also cultivates students’ digital skills and innovative problem-solving abilities in advance to prepare students for success in the future. In terms of digital skills, students will be provided with programming instruction in the Multiple Intelligences class, teaching upper primary school students to use platforms such as Scratch, Micro:bit and App Inventor to learn programming skills and cultivate students' logical thinking development. In addition, schools also use e-teaching, e-books and other tools to utilize technology in learning and learn to control technology. In terms of cultivating students' innovative problem-solving abilities, in addition to providing a variety of STEAM activities, the school will also carry out activities such as thinking classes, skills classes, and question and answer competitions, so that students can develop their problem-solving abilities and creative thinking. At the same time, through activities, they can improve their common abilities such as collaboration, communication, calculation, and critical thinking.

Under the cultivation of the school, students have achieved outstanding achievements in STEAM. For example, a student was selected for the Hong Kong Mathematical Olympiad team; in the "Hong Kong STEAM Design Competition "Meeting STEAM in Life!"" picture book design competition, two students won the third runner-up in the junior primary creative group and the best concept award in the junior primary improvement group; in the "Junior News Bank of China STEM-Up Innovation and Technology Competition 2022", a student won the junior group championship and the senior group commendation award, and the teacher Yuan Shihong who led the team won the Best Instructor Award.

Parallel sports and arts diversified experiences to explore students’ interests and strengths

Physical and art development is an important part of students' overall development. It can enrich their learning life and inspire students during their six years in primary school. The school is well aware of this and adds physical and artistic elements to multiple intelligence classes to help students explore their interests and develop their potential. For example, in terms of sports activities, multiple intelligence classes will provide activities such as rope skipping, hurdles, step training, ladder rope jumping, etc., so that students can have more opportunities to exercise and maintain a healthy life. In terms of art, art courses such as life drawing and handicrafts are arranged to allow students to use their imagination and inspire their creativity and innovation. In terms of music, teachers will lead students to make musical instruments and use electronic equipment to let students learn how to play. Outside of the classroom, the school also provides different types of music extracurricular activities, such as choirs, marching bands, flag dances, Chinese orchestras, etc., so that students can cultivate team spirit in the field of music.
