To motivate students' interest in learning, our school would hold various activities through life-wide learning in all subjects. Our school provides students with an environment to learn in real contexts and authentic settings. The experiential learning acquired through life-wide learning helps students to achieve the aims of whole-person development and enables them to develop the life-long learning capabilities that are needed in our ever-changing society. |
| Development of Major Renewed Emphases of the Primary Education Curriculum |

| 1. Our school promotes Moral and Civic Education by fostering positive values and attitudes in students; "Perseverance", "Respect for Others", "Responsibility", "National Identity", "Commitment", "Integrity", "Care for Others", "Law-abidingness", "Empathy" and "Diligence". Through different learning experiences and courses, such as self-directed learning, national identity and "learning by doing" experience, etc., we aim to develop and cultivate our students in becoming life-long learners nurtured with morality and knowledge, who love their home and country.
2. We make good use of learning time and creating space to promote a balanced physical and mental development; enriching life-wide learning experiences and promoting whole-person development.
3. Reinforcing STEAM education, and nurturing students' media and information literacy; strengthening cross-curricular learning and reading across the curriculum for developing lifelong learning. |

Moral and Civic Education lessons are conducted in mentoring sessions, personal growth programmes and assemblies so as to develop students' problem solving skills and foster their abilities in handling adversity and cultivating positive values towards life. A variety of school-based counseling programs and community service activities are organized for students to learn about care and empathy through experience. |

| Whole School Approach to Integrated Education |
:
| To promote a harmonious culture in our school, a whole school approach to cater for students' diversity has been in place, for several years. With flexible resources allocation, we provide suitable support services to our students, with the aim of enhancing their learning abilities and assimilating them into school life. We have executed some feasible measures such as the accommodation of teaching and assessment, social group, school-based speech therapy services, Individual Education Plans, etc. Reviewing the efficacy of these measures regularly, is a high priority and teacher-parent discussion is needed, to ensure the effectiveness of the continued support. |

| Future Development |
| School Development Plan |
:
| To help our students develop independent learning capabilities according to the "Four Key Tasks", it is imperative that we equip our students with the ability of "biliterate and trilingualism". Promoting a "reading to learn" culture and effective use of information technology in teaching can also facilitate both classroom and self-access language learning. Moreover, school self-evaluation and self-improvement have been set up in our school for the sake of enhancing the effectiveness of teaching and learning and maintaining the quality of our school development. The implementation of inclusive education and home-school co-operation in our school can gain the recognition from the parents. |

| Others |

We have received good results in public competitions, especially calligraphy, writing, music, mathematics, volleyball and basketball. It's the seventh time to be the champion in the Hong Kong School Chinese and English Penmanship Competition. |
