School Wind:
Based on the Christian culture, we are committed to nurturing our students with care and concern, establishing a strict and simple school ethos, and developing good character in our students. This year's focus is on deepening students' positive empathy, teaching them to respect others, and developing them into respectable human beings. Character education is promoted through classrooms, morning assemblies, weekly meetings, and forums. The theme of the Commitment Day at the beginning of the school year in September was "Positive Life. The theme of the Commitment Day at the beginning of the school year in September was "Positive Life, Courteous World", so that students could learn to be courteous and respect others by participating in the collective commitment actions. In order to consolidate students' respect for the country and strengthen their awareness of national security, activities on "National Security", "National Education", "Moral Values" and "Civic Responsibility" were organized throughout the year to deepen the positive values of students, such as "law-abiding", "respectful", "empathetic", "committed" and "honest". In this year, we will strengthen the teaching of positive values to students and promote the development of positive emotions in order to cope with the changes in the diversified environment.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
Through professional training, collaborative lesson planning, and lesson observation, the effectiveness of the teacher professional learning community will be maximized. Teachers use evidence-based teaching strategies to promote deep learning and nurture students to become self-motivated learners. The diversified curriculum includes STEAM theme-based projects to cultivate students' higher-order thinking and academic qualities. The school builds a biliterate and trilingual learning environment, and optimizes students' lifelong learning through multiple reading strategies, rich academic activities, various gifted training programs, information technology learning system, and BYOD strategies.
Teacher professional training and development:
The introduction of the "Flipped Classroom" and "Learning and Teaching" teaching methods, coupled with the "Self-portable Device" policy whereby each student has his/her own personalized device, has enabled the classroom teaching to respond appropriately to the paradigm shift of e-learning. At the same time, Hsuan Kee has implemented the "Thursday Professional Learning Community Period", "Friday Teacher Professional Training", "Follow-the-Excellent-Teacher" learning program, "Promoting Excellent Classroom Model", "Establishing Educational Professional Networks", "Teacher Mentorship Program", and "Subscribing to the ASCD Educational Information", etc., in order to optimize the teaching team, keep abreast of the pulse of education, and strengthen the creativity and innovation energy. In addition, the school encourages teachers to make use of the resources of the Education Bureau's Gifted and Talented Education and Basic Law Education Web-based Foundation Programs for independent and lifelong learning to keep abreast of the times, as well as video exchanges with sister schools to broaden teachers' educational experiences and horizons.
Whole School Participation Model Integrated Education:
We are committed to building an inclusive culture and adopting a "Whole School Approach" to support students with special educational needs (SEN) by providing diversified and appropriate support services to help students enhance their learning effectiveness and integrate into school life. The Student Support Team consists of the Principal, Vice-Principal, SEN Co-ordinator, Heads of Discipline, Guidance and Academic Administration Teams, Social Worker, Educational Psychologist and Teaching and Learning Assistants. The Support Team works closely with the class teachers and subject teams to support students in need. The school provides appropriate support to students with special educational needs, such as: small group teaching and extra classes in English and Mathematics at junior secondary levels to help take care of students with special educational needs; homework and test adaptation for students with special educational needs; speech therapy services; social training groups and volunteer training groups to train social skills, helping skills and problem solving skills to enhance students' self-confidence, sense of self-efficacy, social and communication skills, and to improve the quality of life of the students. The school-based educational psychologists also provide training on social skills, self-confidence, self-efficacy, socialization and communication skills to the students. Meanwhile, the school-based educational psychologists and social workers have co-organized a mental health team to pay attention to the mental and psychological health of students. Home-school co-operation is emphasized and a regular communication mechanism has been established to discuss with parents on strategies to support students through different channels.
