How is the South Yuen Long Government Primary School?
School Wind:
The school has a simple school culture that emphasizes both discipline and guidance. We have implemented the Nanyuan Primary Star Award Scheme, Primary Teacher Scheme, Primary Volunteer Training Scheme and Primary Six Adventure Education Camp, which emphasize on cultivating students' good habits and caring for others. We also have a variety of service teams, such as the Storm Troopers, Library Attendants, Courtesy Ambassadors, Environmental Ambassadors, English Ambassadors, Putonghua Ambassadors, and the Current Affairs Special Teams, etc., to inspire the service spirit of our students.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
Design student-centered lesson plans and classroom activities. Co-curricular activities are organized for major subjects. Through visits, language activities, math tours, technological investigations, STEM learning activities, greening of the campus, sports competitions and life-wide learning activities, we enrich students' learning experiences and develop their multiple intelligences.
Life-wide Learning:
Through extra-curricular activities, after-school arts and crafts classes, school team training and interest groups led by external instructors, the school provides a wide range of learning activities for students to develop their potential. The school organizes large-scale activities such as the School Sports Day, Water Sports Day, Christmas Party, Chinese Culture Day, STEM Learning Day, Outdoor Education Camps, trips and outbound learning, as well as swimming lessons in Grade 3 to enable students to enjoy their school life.

Students will be provided with curriculum adaptations according to their abilities, as well as top-up remedial courses, including Homework Help Group, Speech Therapy, Cambridge English, English Drama Top-Up Course, English Drama Course, Chinese Writing Top-Up Course, and Olympiad Classes, etc., in order to enhance their learning interests and social skills.
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
Home school cooperation:
Set up a Parent-Teacher Association to organize home-school activities: P.1 Orientation Day, parent-child activities, grade-level parent-teacher conferences and parent seminars. Set up a parent volunteer team to assist in extra-curricular activities and large-scale school events.
