Is Tin Shui Wai Methodist Primary School good?
School Wind:
We emphasize the development of morality, intellectuality, physicality, social skills, aesthetics, and spirituality, the cultivation of Christian values, all-round cross-curricular learning, and the concept of "One Art for Life". We carry out the spirit of Christian love, and will not give up on any of them in order to practice whole-person education.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
We emphasize students' language proficiency by incorporating books into Chinese and English subjects, so that students can learn reading strategies and language knowledge through interesting reading. At the same time, the school emphasizes the language context, with Chinese taught in Putonghua and seven foreign English teachers in the whole school, so that students can learn in an interactive language context; mathematical thinking tools are often introduced to develop students' higher-order thinking. The school also makes good use of school time by adopting a blended learning strategy, promoting e-learning to cultivate students' self-learning habits, emphasizing students' self-study before class, using cooperative learning mode in class to allow students to explore and solve problems, and reviewing after class to consolidate the learning points of each module. Progressive assessment is provided for each module to enable stakeholders to grasp the learning situation of each learning module.
Life-wide Learning:
The school emphasizes learning through experience, with cross-curricular activities at each grade level, as well as field trips, visits, and service projects. Each grade level also has special classes, including self-care, STEAM and service Maker, life education, etc. The school also arranges out-of-country exchange programs for all Upper Elementary students. The school also arranges out-of-country exchange programs for all Upper Primary students to learn through experience. Students can also participate in after-school activities according to their interests and abilities.
Course Tailoring and Adaptation Measures:
In addition, two resident social workers and an educational psychologist are assigned to assess students' learning and make adjustments for students in need. For students who do not reach the target, in addition to subject counseling, an Academic Achievement Guarantee Scheme will be set up to follow up after assessment. We will also train the top students to build up a talent pool with through-train secondary schools.
Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
The school provides additional support to the admitted NCS students to help them learn Chinese: providing after-school Chinese language learning support; employing additional teachers/teaching assistants to support NCS students' Chinese language learning; arranging intensive Chinese language teaching modes (e.g. pull-out learning, group/small group learning, etc. on a need basis); developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting teaching materials; organizing inclusive school activities; and providing additional support (e.g. pull-out learning, pinyin teaching materials, etc.) to NCS students in implementing Putonghua teaching at all levels in the school on a need basis, i.e. in all classes/groups. Provide additional support (e.g. pull-out/group learning, pinyin teaching materials, etc.) as necessary for the implementation of PTH in all grades (i.e. all classes/groups) in the school.
Home school cooperation:
We believe that parents are our partners in education, trusting each other and working together to nurture each student. We emphasize the importance of home-school cooperation because parents are also a rich resource for the school.
