School Wind:
The school employs a full-time resident social worker. Parents can come to the school to discuss students' learning and living conditions, and the school is willing to provide assistance at any time. Parents' Day is held twice a year, and there are many parent-child seminars, school administration consultation meetings, parent-teacher observation sessions and parent-child trips, etc. to maintain home-school liaison and provide full support to parents.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The school emphasizes the cultivation of multiple intelligences and the balanced development of students. The School Management Committee donates school buses to the school, and therefore organizes a variety of off-site learning activities to consolidate students' learning experience in different contexts. Outbound learning trips are organized every year to broaden students' horizons through cross-disciplinary learning. We actively develop cross-curricular programs to enhance the vertical coherence and horizontal coverage of the curriculum. In this way, we aim to cultivate students' knowledge in various subjects as well as in moral education, civic education, reading, project learning and information technology learning.
Life-wide Learning:
There are two extracurricular activity periods on Fridays for the entire school to participate in.
Groups, clubs, uniformed groups and school teams are organized after school on weekdays and on Saturdays for students' participation and training.
Instrumental group, Dance group, Martial Arts group, Computer Club, STEM Club, Visual Arts Club, General Studies Club, Drama Group, Athletics, Fencing, Golf, and various ball team training are the most popular among the students.
