Curriculum planning
|
We put an emphasis on moral education as according to the curriculum guidelines of the Education Bureau and children's life experience and interests. With the "child-centered" educational philosophy, we use a variety of games and activities to build children's life attitudes and values. We strive to foster children’s balanced development in the six domains which are ethics, intellect, social skill, aesthetics and spirituality.
We will follow the "Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide" (2017) to plan curriculum. Children of nursery classes will not be asked to write, and there will not be mechanical copying exercises and drills on calculation.
|
Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
We adopt the theme-based learning approach and the play-based learning approach, engaging children in a diversified range of integrated and exploratory activities that are closely related to their daily life experiences to enhance their motivation to learn, ability of expression and problem-solving skills. We also instil in children a positive attitude towards learning through “Positive Education” and provide them with a happy school life where they can experience the love of God and learn to live a fruitful life.
Our programmes include: The Boys' Brigade, Hong Kong, Heep Hong Society Shares Service Experience on On-site Pre-school Rehabilitation Services (OPRS) Pilot Scheme, Seasonal Influenza Vaccination School Outreach (Free of Charge) (the Programme), Straighten-up Excellent School Scheme, Zippy’s Friend emotion programme, good student incentive programme, green campus programme, one student one flower programme and parent-child reading programme;
our activities include: community donation, parent-child tooth care activity, traffic safety lecture, visit to communities, visit to Sunny Smile Fairyland, primary school Sports Day, and interschool dancing and singing contests.
