To prepare students for the demands of the 21st century and the ever-developing technological world, the school takes a modern day 4-literacy teaching approach with Language, STEAM and ICT as a key cross-curricula focus. |
| major_renewed_emphases_pri_edu_curriculum | Values Education is embedded across all subjects. In particular, the PSHE curriculum is further strengthened to include two units focusing on China and Hong Kong's history, geography, and development. STEAM is a subject in itself, where scientific knowledge and investigations lead to projects that integrate learning in other subject areas. ICT is a driving force to expand our horizons when we apply the skills we have learned in our daily lives to problem-solving and creating. Our learning effectiveness is enhanced by starting each day with a short reading lesson to consolidate our reading and literacy skills, which are pivotal in academic success. |
