"4+14" creates an English context and enhances future competitiveness

The school makes good use of the resources of the school sponsoring organization to create an English context through diversified activities, improve students' English proficiency, and stimulate interest in English. The school arranges "4+14" foreign English teachers to cooperate with daily English teaching, that is, 4 resident and 14 external foreign English teachers, responsible for English teaching and activities. For example, the second-grade English drama course is taught by "4+14" foreign teachers, allowing students to listen and speak more during the rehearsal process, learn to use English in daily life, and build their confidence in English from an early age.

At the upper primary school level, the school arranges "Little Shakespeare" traditional English dramas to allow students to get in touch with Shakespeare's classic works and perform them in public. In addition to learning more vocabulary and sentence patterns from English scripts and dialogues to enhance cultural connotation, performances also cultivate their communication skills, team spirit, sense of responsibility, etc., providing a stage for developing their personal potential.

The school arranges for students to participate in the "Jockey Club Computational Thinking Education" program (Coolthink). The courses cover areas such as aviation, astronomy, computational thinking, and computer languages, allowing students to learn and apply the knowledge they have learned. At the same time, the course involves a large number of English vocabulary, which will help students connect to English secondary school courses in the future and understand foreign scientific research more smoothly.

The school also has special flight courses, equipped with flight simulation devices for teaching, allowing students to learn more aviation knowledge while also mastering more English terms in the aviation industry. This course was recognized by the China Aeronautical Society and became the first Hong Kong school to be selected as a "National Aviation Characteristics School".

In addition, in order to allow students to apply what they have learned and broaden their knowledge, the school encourages students to participate in various competitions and achieve excellence in the STEAM field. For example, in the CoolThink Computational Thinking Course Competition, students have achieved the top three results in Hong Kong for five consecutive years; they also won the Scratch Dance Rising Star Award in the high group of the second Global Marty Challenge Global Robot Challenge.

Through a series of activities and learning experiences, students not only broaden their knowledge, but also further develop their interests, accumulate successful experiences, and develop perseverance, team spirit and sense of responsibility in the process.

Enrich overseas exchange experience and explore the world with your motherland behind you

Principal Zhong understands that learning is not limited to the campus, so he actively leads students to jump out of the classroom and learn in a variety of experiences. In addition to local visits, the school also provides overseas exchange opportunities. For example, travel to places such as Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Changchun, Chengdu, Chongqing, Nanjing and Shanghai to gain an in-depth understanding of culture and history and explore the technological development of the motherland. In addition, students also have the opportunity to travel to places such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, Finland, Australia, Canada, and Japan to learn about foreign customs and customs, and participate in English studies and activities, using English as a medium to connect the world and build an international perspective.

In addition, the school has won the "Outstanding Teaching Award for Moral Education" issued by the Education Bureau for three consecutive years.

Intimate transition measures for young children to easily master the Primary One curriculum

The teaching model of primary schools is completely different from that of kindergartens. Therefore, from the moment they enroll, the school will provide Phonics teaching to new students to help them master the basic abilities of English spelling and reading, so as to lay the foundation for future English learning. In order to reduce the pressure of study, there are no silent books and examinations in the first grade of Primary School, and a double-class teacher system is adopted to ensure that each student can receive appropriate care. Principal Zhong also plans to optimize the primary one transition arrangement in the 26/27 school year and achieve "zero test, zero test". Instead, assessment will be conducted through daily learning activities, so that parents and teachers can understand students' learning progress and needs, so as to make the most appropriate teaching arrangements.
