school_major_concerns1. Fostering students' growth mindset and positive values to live a healthy and confident life.
2. Enhancing students' high order thinking and communication skills, integrating STEAM education and history-cultural education, and applying what they have learnt in practice.
learning_and_teaching_plan_urlhttps://www.spps.edu.hk
learning_and_teaching_strategiesOur school organizes interactive learning and teaching activities, increasing student interaction whilst catering for learner diversity. We are a pioneer to introduce the Science and Integrated Humanities subjects to P4-P6. The Science subject highlights scientific theories and concepts. Students learn the latest developments of technologies and apply the ‘design cycle’ model during enquiry learning and experiments. The Integrated Humanities subject guides students to establish a holistic view of history by restructuring the current curriculum and enriching teaching materials. Students’ world view stems from an innate understanding of reality with references from the past to the present, and onwards. The Mathematics subject develops mathematical modelling topics at all levels, enabling students to apply mathematical concepts to solving real-life problems through collaboration and discussion.
major_renewed_emphases_pri_edu_curriculumThrough the Chinese Culture Day and national security related activities, students learn about and pass down Chinese culture values. To equip students with positive values and attitudes, all panels share the same aim - ‘cultivating students’ growth mindset’. To widen students’ horizons and unlock their potentials, school-based and cross-disciplinary curricula are introduced, providing them with ample opportunities to apply generic skills during and outside their learning time. We actively teach students reading and information literacy skills with extensive reading and lesson activities in which students learn to analyse and use information. Having a healthy lifestyle, body, mental and social well-being is also fundamental. We value students’ long recesses so that they can unwind and enjoy quality time with their peers.
dev_of_generic_skillsOur curricula, teaching strategies and assessments aim at developing students' generic skills, such as collaborative and self-management skills. Interdisciplinary activities, such as English yoga activities, enable students to think outside the box and make plausible connections across knowledge areas. To enhance students’ communication skills and boost their confidence, oral presentation skills are taught in the Chinese, English and Putonghua subjects. Students learn the art of persuasion and to make evidence-based arguments.
cultivation_of_proper_values_attitudes_and_behavioursThe school recognizes the importance of values education and students’ whole person development. Students’ understanding of the rule of law and national conditions are enhanced via learning and teaching activities, history lessons and mainland study tours, enabling students to understand the importance of safeguarding national security. Nurturing students’ positive values and attitudes is crucial. The ‘play area’ in the classrooms enables students to develop social skills and understand the importance of following rules. Our school has developed a school-based curriculum framework for information literacy. Students learn how to use information technology ethically by taking part in teaching and learning activities from different subjects.

whole_school_approach_cater_for_learner_diversityLearning support and remedial classes are organized to cater for learners' diversity. School-based Educational Psychologists, Speech Therapists, Social Workers and SENCO work together to care for students with special educational needs. Furthermore, parents' workshops are regularly organized. Pull-out programmes and whole-class programmes are established to enhance the gifted students. Different training courses are carried out to fully explore and develop the potential of students with different talents.
whole_school_approach_integrated_educationOur school uses the learning support grant to implement a whole-school approach to support students with special educational needs. A student support team, consisting of Special Educational Needs Coordinator, Special Educational Needs Support Teachers, School Social Workers, School-based Educational Psychologists, School-based Speech Therapists and school teachers, has been established. It plans a comprehensive program that is implemented by all school teachers.
curriculum_tailoring_and_adaptationThe essence of classical Chinese literature and children literature are incorporated in the Chinese curriculum. With the 'reading-to-writing' programme, the school aims to enhance students' creativity and literary appreciation skills. Classic readers and other reading programmes are incorporated in the English curriculum to promote reading across the curriculum. The mathematical modelling topics in the Mathematics curriculum enable students to apply mathematical concepts to solving real-world problems. The General Studies curriculum is STEAM-based, which cultivates students' creativity and problem-solving skills through hands-on and project-based activities.

home-school_co-operationThe PTA regularly organizes different activities for students and parents, like the spring picnic, the Chinese New Year reunion dinner and the Christmas party. Parent-volunteers are very supportive of school development. They do storytelling in the classroom and help out in Sports Day.
school_ethosWe have high expectations on students' discipline and academic performance. Students are well-mannered, humble, well-behaved and interested in learning. They are motivated to participate in various extra-curricular activities and social services. We also have a high reputation among parents.
future_dev_urlhttps://www.spps.edu.hk
school_dev_plan1. Enable students to establish a growth mindset and positive values. Provide them with sufficient care, support and affirmation to enhance their sense of identity. Create an atmosphere of appreciation, mutual encouragement and recognition, enabling them to develop a positive outlook on life and the courage to face challenges.
2. Broaden students' knowledge of innovative technology, cultivate analytical, problem-solving, and creative thinking skills, and promote STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) Education across curriculum. Enhance students' historical and cultural literacy, leading them to understand the local situation, national conditions, and global development trends. By integrating STEAM and history-cultural education, the school aims at improving students' abilities, skills, and confidence in expressing personal opinion.
teacher_pro_training_and_devIn addition to collaborative teaching and open lessons, we actively seek external resources to equip our teachers with the most updated educational theories and teaching practices. Subject teachers work together to understand the content and aims of other subjects. Our school is one of the participating schools of the school-based support services (Primary Mathematics) organised by the Education Bureau. We have developed our school-based mathematical modelling curriculum via collaborative lesson planning and peer lesson observations. The school also collects feedback on teaching and learning from teachers and students. With feedback and active follow-up enquiry, we strive to improve the quality of our curricula and excel in teaching.
school_character_othersOur School has a long history of producing alumni who became accomplished members in the society. We have a simple school spirit and teachers have a rapport with students. We place emphasis on student ethics and academic excellence, helping them develop a positive outlook on life and mutual respect for others.
