Curriculum planning
|
Our school’s child-centered curriculum blends the Education Bureau’s six learning areas with thematic projects to foster exploration. It focuses on four core skills: language, problem-solving, self-confidence, and communication. Learning through play and hands-on experiences ensures holistic growth, with progress tracked through ongoing observation.
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
|
|
Our child-centered curriculum combines the Education Bureau's six learning areas with thematic projects, nurturing exploration and four core skills: language, problem-solving, confidence, and communication. Hands-on learning promotes holistic development, assessed through ongoing observation.

Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
|
The school assesses students' performance and developmental progress through ongoing observation across key areas: Physical Development and Health, Language, Early Mathematics, Nature and Living, Self and Society, and Arts and Creativity.
To keep parents informed and updated, the school utilizes various channels, including daily communication, comments in student handbooks, bimonthly distribution of Thematic Unit Assessments, and parent-teacher conferences - twice annually for K2-K3 classes and three times per year for K1 classes.
