Is Yuen Long Chamber of Commerce Primary School good or not?
School Wind:
In order to enhance students' sense of belonging to the school, teachers gave students birthday gifts, which made the school a warm and welcoming atmosphere; all service teams have a promotion system, so that students have a sense of purpose and mission while serving and caring for others; peer support teams and parent volunteer teams were established, so that the givers can feel the joy of helping others; Primary One Induction Programmes and Secondary One Bridging Seminars were organized, so as to give a sense of security to students who have to face a new environment. We also organize Primary One Induction Programmes and Secondary One Bridging Seminars to enhance students' sense of security in the new environment.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
The main subjects are organized in consecutive classes to facilitate a wide range of learning activities. Knowledge is built up in the classroom through a variety of learning and teaching activities, and students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities and community service so that they can learn by doing. Learning materials for each subject are linked through the implementation of theme weeks and school-based remedial programs.
Life-wide Learning:
Extra-curricular activities include: Christian Youth Scouts, Traffic Safety Team, Cub Scouts, Cub Girl Scouts, Junior Community Service Corps, Junior Police Call, Campus Reporters, Campus Volunteers, Little John's, Choir, Chimes, Sign Language Singers, Dance, Painting and Writing, Math and Olympiad Training, English Drama, Speech, Athletics, Swimming, Ballroom Training, and STEM.

Educational support for non-Chinese speaking students:
The school provides additional support to the admitted NCS students to help them learn the Chinese language: after-school Chinese learning support; inclusive school activities; and additional support (e.g. pull-out/group learning, pinyin teaching materials, etc.) as needed in the implementation of universal education for some of the grades (i.e. all classes/groups) in the school. Using the EDB-supported Chinese Language Teaching Kit for NCS students, the school encourages students to learn Chinese language and Chinese culture through a variety of activities in an enjoyable and relaxing way, so as to enhance students' Chinese language learning ability.
Home school cooperation:
We emphasize home-school cooperation and hold regular Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meetings. Parents and teachers co-organize many school activities and community visits. In addition, the school and the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) have set up 30 scholarships for students with outstanding performance in service and character.
