Parents are encouraged to participate in the school's Parent Volunteer Team to help build the school, work with teachers to help students grow, and care for the underprivileged through community service activities.
Learning and Teaching Strategies :
Language is a cross-curricular learning tool and the development of a love of reading and writing is an important part of school life; therefore, cross-subject reading and writing is included in the teaching plan of each subject. To ensure that the language strategies of each subject are implemented, teachers of all subjects emphasize the importance of cross-subject reading and writing, and work together to promote students' interest in reading, develop good reading habits and improve their writing skills. Language learning through drama is one of the key directions of the curriculum development. Students learn to conceive scripts, act out roles and appreciate dramas, which not only enhance their interest in learning, but also improve their language proficiency. The curriculum is broad and balanced, designed to cater for the different needs, abilities and interests of students. To capitalize on the strengths of through-train schools, the Primary and Secondary sections have jointly developed IT-based learning platforms and teachers conduct regular exchange seminars. The Primary and Secondary Divisions have jointly developed school-based biotechnology curricula for the Upper Primary and Junior Secondary Schools to enhance students' curiosity and imagination in scientific research. The Language, Science and Humanities sections of the Primary and Secondary Schools hold regular meetings to exchange information on the progress of curriculum integration between primary and secondary schools. Languages are used throughout the curriculum, and the development of a love of reading and writing is an important part of school life. To ensure that language strategies are embedded in every subject, teachers of all subjects emphasize cross-subject reading and writing. Language learning through drama, which allows students to conceptualize scripts, act out roles and enjoy plays, will enhance their interest in learning as well as their language proficiency.
Teacher professional training and development:
The school attaches great importance to teaching, research and development, and has set up a Teaching, Research and Development Task Force to coordinate teaching, research and development activities on Friday afternoons, so as to facilitate teachers to enhance their teaching effectiveness through collaborative lesson planning, action research and public lesson observation.
