Is Sham Tseng Catholic Primary School good or not?
School Wind:
To promote the spirit of Christ's love and care, and to establish a disciplined learning environment with good school ethos. Diversified training and counseling activities and award programs are provided to encourage students to develop their potentials, enhance their self-confidence, and promote teacher-student bonding and care.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
We emphasize the development of students' multiple intelligences, helping them to learn effectively and to develop their creativity and independent thinking skills. Through classroom activities, group learning, project design and visits, students will develop a positive and active learning attitude to face future challenges.
Life-wide Learning:
School activities are broadly categorized into four types: Variety Show activities (including Christmas performances, athletic meets, etc.), small group activities (led by school teachers), Saturday extra-curricular activity classes (professional tutors are hired to teach), and school teams (students are selected by school teachers for training), etc. These activities are of different natures and allow students to develop different interests and abilities.
Course Tailoring and Adaptation Measures:
Provide learning and assessment accommodations for students in need, and make course cuts to enhance student academic performance.
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
Home school cooperation:
The Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and parent volunteers support the school's development and student activities, and often co-organize home-school activities with the school, such as parent-child games, trips and carnivals. On normal days, parent volunteers provide chess activities for Primary 1 students in the morning before school, and group games for Primary 1 students during recess, so as to enhance friendship and the spirit of solidarity among students through the games.
Environmental Policy:
The campus has implemented conservation measures, such as recycling programs for waste paper, red packets, books and school uniforms.
