S.K.H. Kei Tak Primary School With the school motto "Not to serve others, but to serve others", we are committed to providing students with high-quality holistic education. The school not only focuses on improving students’ academic performance, but also on cultivating the balanced development of their six educations, helping students add value to themselves, contribute to society in the future, and practice the school motto.

Therefore, in terms of education planning, the school provides students with rich campus experience in terms of curriculum design, activities, positive education, etc., and achieves all-round development, so that students will be better equipped to cope with the ever-changing society in addition to academic knowledge after six years.

Flexible biliteracy and trilingual teaching to enhance learning interest

Language is not only an important communication tool, but also a bridge for people to enter and explore the world. The school teaches biliteracy and trilingualism in a flexible manner to enhance students' interest in learning languages. In terms of English, the school actively builds an English context and has two "English Days" every week to immerse students in a strong English learning atmosphere. The school specially hired three foreign teachers to teach at different levels and are responsible for leading English extracurricular activities, such as English hand puppet activities. Students will have more opportunities to contact foreign teachers, whether in class or extracurricular activities, and improve their English skills through interaction and communication.

Principal Fok said that this year the school will hold a cross-curricular activity "English Music FUN FUN DAY" to allow students to enjoy English musicals or songs, be exposed to different musical elements, broaden their learning areas, and at the same time understand the wide range of uses and importance of English. She hopes that her children will have a curious, willing to explore, and even a competitive heart. To this end, the school arouses their interest through different activities, such as launching recess activities so that students can communicate with foreign teachers to earn points, and the English room is decorated as a cafe, allowing students to use the earned points to exchange for snacks or gifts, thereby encouraging more speaking and listening.

In terms of Putonghua, two "Putonghua Days" are arranged every week to increase students' opportunities to use Putonghua. Students can communicate with teachers on duty in Mandarin during recess, and campus broadcasts will also be in Mandarin. Students will also be strengthened in the classroom to learn Mandarin pinyin to help them lay a solid foundation in the language. In addition, every year before the Lunar New Year, the school holds a Chinese Culture Day, which aims to enhance students’ understanding of Chinese culture and promote traditional Chinese culture and values ​​through stall games, lectures, and school-wide festivals. The school will also promote a whole-school activity of "Postal Expression". Teachers teach students the format of letters, and arrange for students to write handwritten letters to peers, teachers, and even the principal, and then "send" them through the green mailbox in front of the school. Principal Fok believes: "Students can practice and apply the letter format they learned during the process. We also hope to convey love and care through warm handwritten letters."

Innovative STEAM Education Excellent performance in external competitions

The school is committed to optimizing the STEAM education curriculum framework and strategies, which is dominated by general knowledge. In addition to basic classroom learning, there are also experimental classes, project studies, etc., so that students can apply what they have learned through hands-on practice and research to consolidate knowledge points after learning basic theoretical knowledge. In addition, the school also promotes STEAM learning through activities, such as the interdisciplinary activity "STEAM Fun Day", which not only understands scientific principles, but also radiates creative thinking and incorporates visual arts elements into the design of the works; it also organizes "Math Day" and "General Knowledge Day" to enhance students' interest in exploring things around them and cultivate computational thinking and problem-solving skills.

In addition to the classroom, the school also arranges m-BOT top-notch classes, micro:bit programming classes, etc., allowing students to conduct deeper learning in areas of interest, unleash their talents and potential, and lead them to participate in off-campus STEAM-related competitions. Some students have won bronze medals in the "3rd Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area AI Skills Competition 2024 Interstellar Exploration" competition; in the 2023-2024 Hong Kong Inter-school STEAM Gifted Cup, there are Three students won the silver medal in the fifth grade finals (Mathematics), the gold medal in the senior category finals (Scratch Programming), and the first place in the academic achievement (Scratch Programming). The students were encouraged by their excellent results.

Make good use of high-end technology and widely apply e-learning

Making good use of e-learning can help improve the effectiveness of learning and teaching. The school has introduced VR technology in Chinese writing teaching, allowing students to "visit" China's historical sites, local tourist attractions, etc. on different themes, as if they were immersed in the experience. On the one hand, it allows them to visualize their writing skills and enrich the content when writing articles or learning writing skills such as the walking method. On the other hand, considering that not every child may have the opportunity to visit different places, VR technology can avoid differences caused by lack of relevant experiences. Not only that, schools will also introduce AR books to provide a different reading experience, improve students' reading interest, and promote independent learning.

Diverse learning experiences to develop physical and artistic potential

The school has multiple intelligence classes that provide learning experiences other than regular courses, such as Little Scientists, Little Gardeners, Creative Dance, Fun Fun English, Scouts, Information Elite Training Group, etc., to enrich students' learning experience and cultivate the development of multiple intelligences. Outside of the classroom, the school will also provide a variety of extracurricular activities for students to choose from, such as hand bells, brass music, ball games, fancy rope skipping, lion dancing, etc., in order to explore their interests and potential and develop their talents in different fields. An achievement exhibition is held in the school every July, allowing students who have participated in various interest classes or achieved good results in competitions to perform on stage, giving them a stage to showcase their talents and cultivate their self-confidence.

In this learning atmosphere, students have also achieved outstanding achievements in music, physical education and art. For example, in the Asian Musicians Competition 2024, the handbell orchestra, choir, shepherd flute group ensemble and vocal group (chorus group) won two silvers and two bronzes; the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area All-Around Artist Competition (Painting Group P.5-P.6 Group) won the Greater Bay Area (Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Region) Gold Medal, Gold Medal in Hong Kong and Macau Region, and Third Place in Guangdong Region; the women’s football team won the “All-round Women’s Football Invitational Tournament” championship in its first outing, with outstanding results.

Organize exchange groups in the Mainland to broaden horizons and gain knowledge

In order to allow students to broaden their knowledge and gain a better understanding of the national situation, the school organizes different exchange groups to allow students to broaden their horizons. For example, the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area City Exploration Tour" was held earlier, taking senior primary school students to the Greater Bay Area to learn about history, culture and the country's technological development, as well as discuss urban planning and development and explore the natural ecology. This school year, Principal Huo plans to arrange for fourth-grade students to exchange with sister schools in Zhaoqing to experience the development of the motherland first-hand and enhance national identity and pride.

Cultivate virtuous and positive young soldiers and practice character traits in life

The school attaches great importance to positive education and is committed to cultivating children with positive values ​​​​and positive personality traits. To this end, it has launched the "Kidd Positive Little Soldiers" electronic award program. Under the plan, students need to set goals for themselves. After reaching certain requirements, they can exchange "energy points" for "Little Elite Soldier" equipment and "Character Babies" representing 24 character strengths. Principal Huo said: "We have turned 24 character strengths into 'character babies', hoping that children will use them as learning objects to understand their own character strengths and do better." Under the extension of the plan, the discipline team will select "positive stars" to praise students who have done well and encourage students to learn from each other. In addition, a whole-school activity called "Goal Goal Goal" will be held at the beginning of the semester, allowing students to set goals and implement them in the next year. In the process, they will learn perseverance, perseverance, understand failure, and learn to review and adjust.

Comprehensive kindergarten-to-primary transition measures to help new students integrate into campus life

In terms of transition from kindergarten to primary school, the school actively helps new students integrate into campus life. This includes setting up adaptive courses to give them a preliminary understanding of the subject. For example, Chinese will start with font structure, stroke order, etc., while English will lay a solid foundation in an interesting way. In the first week of school, the school will also arrange teaching assistants to assist the head teacher in taking care of the new students. The senior brothers and sisters will accompany the first-year students to adapt to campus life through the companion reading program and the primary teacher program.

At the same time, the school strengthens communication between parents and class teachers or subject teachers through parent-teacher conferences, etc., so that parents can fully understand their children's adaptation situation, and the school also lets the school know the needs of their classmates. In addition, the school also organizes a variety of activities, such as the "Children's Dreams Together" career experience activity, which allows students to experience the fun of different jobs in different scenarios and make new friends; an initiation ceremony is held to allow primary one students to receive the blessing of the pastor, which means the beginning of a Christian campus life.
