| School Management |
| School Management Organisation |

| 17 administrative and teaching groups. |

:
| IMC comes from different management boards such as rural committee, professionals, teachers and parents. |
| School Green Policy |
:
| We received HK Green School Award (Gold Award) and HK Awards for Environmental Excellence (Silver & Bronze Awards). We are the first primary school that adopts GREENPLUS Console to record electric energy consumption and carbon emissions. We also joined CLP Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff scheme. We have built a smart green house for hydroponics. |
| School's Major Concerns |
:
| We believe that Positive Education flourishes our lives. We live it, embed it and embrace it. We strive to help students develop their full potential. School is the second home for our teachers, students and parents. We live, learn and laugh together in order to bring our students a wholesome childhood. |
| Learning and Teaching Plan |
| Learning & Teaching Strategies |
:
| Co-teaching is implemented in the main subjects. Various activities are used to enhance learning. To cater for NCS students' diverse learning needs and enhance their learning interests, we utilize picture books and theme-based learning activities. Space Town, Keys2 and DTS are implemented in the English curriculum to enhance students' reading and writing competence. |
| Development of Major Renewed Emphases of the Primary Education Curriculum |
:
| Our school focuses on creating a caring campus and providing a pleasant learning environment. With the renewal of the primary education curriculum, we will continue to strengthen the implementation of values education (including life education, and national security education), optimize overall curriculum planning, and strengthen STEAM education. We continue to provide students with diverse, relevant and meaningful learning experiences (life-wide learning) in order to broaden their learning foundation and horizons, and nurture them to become active and independent lifelong learners. |
| Development of Generic Skills |
:
| Generic skills are integrated into the curriculum and extra-curricular activities. Activities are held during lessons to encourage students to use the skills. Students' linguistic development is our major concern as language is vital for communication. Both English and Chinese are our media of instruction. We have implemented a Life-Wide Learning Week to help students develop their generic skills. Additionally, through encouraging students to apply a growth mindset, different character strengths and learning skills, their learning effectiveness is continuously enhanced. |
| Cultivation of Proper Values, Attitudes and Behaviours |
:
| We have implemented our school-based Positive Education program (Flourish Express) to help students engage in the five major elements in Positive Education, i.e. Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment. Through various learning activities, students are encouraged to utilize different character strengths and strategies to help them solve problems in their daily lives and learning. We hope that Positive Education can help to equip students with strengths to tackle the challenges in the future. |
| Student Support |
| Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity |
:
| The school has established a student support team that includes our curriculum development officer, social worker, class teachers, subject teachers and teaching assistants. External support includes school-based educational psychologist, school-based speech therapist, and support staff from the EDB. We actively promote the whole school approach of support plan. We are keen on creating a compatible and caring culture to cater for students’ diverse learning needs and provide students with appropriate learning support services. Each class has a dual-class teacher system to provide appropriate care for students. |
| Whole School Approach to Integrated Education |
:
| We make good use of the additional resources allocated by the EDB including Learning Support Grant, Enhanced School-based Speech Therapy Service and School-based educational psychology Services to provide students with the following support according to their learning needs: small group teaching, collaborative teaching, withdrawal teaching, after-school subject counseling, Individual Education Plans, literacy training, concentration training, sensory integration training, social group training, speech therapy training, etc. With the existing support, we hope to enhance students' self-confidence and social skills while taking into account the development of multiple intelligence. |

|
| Curriculum Tailoring and Adaptation |
:
| We implement group teaching and collaborative teaching to optimize the school-based curriculum to assist students with diverse learning needs. Teachers set support directions and review progress for students with learning difficulties and special educational needs in stages, provide students with curriculum, coursework and assessment adjustments, record the learning results through classroom observations, and report to parents on time. Our Student Learning Support Group establishes individual learning files and implements individual learning plans for students to cater for their learning differences. |
| Home-school Co-operation and School Ethos |
| Home-School Co-operation |
:
| We hold three Parents' Days every year to discuss about students' academic performance as well as their development of generic skills and attitudes. Our PTA organizes a wide range of activities to enhance communication between parents and the school. We have parent workshops to equip our parents with knowledge and skills in providing their children with appropriate support at home. Chinese learning materials and English reading aloud tasks are equipped with QR codes to encourage parents to learn Chinese and English with their children during their leisure time. |
| School Ethos |
:
| We are highly involved with students' studies, their mental and psychological development. We make good use of our natural green environment to promote environmental protection and life education. Therefore, we established a cat group and Animal Ambassadors. To flourish students' childhood, we implement Positive Education and integrate it into our curriculum and school life. |
| Future Development |
| School Development Plan |
:
| We have carried out Positive Education since 2016 because we believe that Positive Education helps to flourish our teachers and students' lives. The promotion of Positive Education is a life-long process. We will continue to develop our school-based Positive Education program. |

:
| To enhance teachers' professional development, we hold regular co-planning, co-teaching and peer observation sessions with representatives from local universities and the Education Bureau to tailor-make our school-based curriculum and learning materials. We arrange teacher training and development workshops each year according to the teachers' needs and strengths. |
