How is Shanghai Primary School?
School Wind:
The school emphasizes the importance of character development and aims to cultivate the right values and attitudes in students. The Sunshine Award Program provides students with positive encouragement in various aspects, through which students can build up good habits and achieve self-improvement. The school encourages students to learn through service and to develop a sense of responsibility and commitment. The school's service teams include Leaders, Lunchtime Leaders, Boys and Girls Scouts, Cleaning Ambassadors, Sports Service Team, IT Team, Campus Service Team, Flag Bearers, and Big Sisters and Big Brothers Program.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
(1) Deploying lesson schedules to arrange thematic lectures or field trips, organizing specialist study days, artist-in-residence teacher-student programmes, English language days, etc.
(2) Encourage students to explore the pursuit of knowledge and realize their own potentials through physical actions, so that students can cultivate a positive outlook on life and the spirit of lifelong learning in an enjoyable atmosphere.
(3) Encourage students' self-evaluation. Through various activities, such as visits to elderly homes, adventure training, public performances by orchestras, etc., students can experience different learning experiences, thus enabling them to develop in a holistic manner.
(4) Collaborate with external organizations or tertiary institutions to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching and to promote student learning.

The school's Parents' Association (P.A.) is committed to working with the school to nurture Shanghai's children to grow in love.

The PTA also recruits parent volunteers to help with school activities and cooperates with social welfare organizations in the district, such as donating scarves, so that people outside the school can also feel the love of Shanghai.
