Founded more than 60 years ago, the school has a simple school ethos and implements a school-based guidance program. It is committed to fostering students' "positive thinking" and aims to "continue to create a positive, hard-working school culture", as well as to cultivate a sense of empathy and gratitude. Parents, teachers and students have a good relationship with each other and often collaborate in learning and social activities.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The school is committed to designing a quality school-based curriculum that emphasizes experiential learning and implements life-wide learning, cross-curricular curriculum integration and project-based learning, so that students can participate in hands-on, hands-on, hands-on learning, and learning by doing, in order to build knowledge and generic skills. The unique Forestry Program allows students to use nature as a classroom to meet challenges and develop resilience in the mountains and the sea. Teachers teach students to think at a higher level so that they can grow to a higher, farther and wider level of thinking and develop the ability to think critically and discerningly. After-school homework guidance and a variety of potential development activities are provided to meet the needs of different students. All students participate in the English Reading and Writing Program of the Education Bureau, and additional resources are allocated for arranging additional foreign English teachers to enhance English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Every year, the school arranges for students to go on exchange trips around the world to broaden their horizons.
