The Primary Division Sub-Committee is responsible for policy formulation and to consider views and recommendations put forward by the Primary Division Management Committee. The Primary Division Management Committee is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operation of the Primary Division and to co-ordinate the operation of the various existing frontline committees and workgroups of the School.
Incorporated Management Committee / School Management Committee/ Management Committee : School Management Committee.
School Green Policy : Our school launches the Green Campus and Environmental Ambassador Scheme which provide chances for students to implement their knowledge about environmental protection in their daily life.
School's Major Concerns : Our School aims to equip students to become life-long learners with a sound foundation of knowledge, social and technical skills to meet future challenges. Our vision is to prepare students to become contributors to society and leaders with integrity in a diverse and ever-changing world.
Learning and Teaching Plan
Learning & Teaching Strategies : The unique school design and well-equipped classrooms enable our teachers to adopt a flexible approach of teaching. Students' learning is not confined to within the classroom. Other outdoor areas, such as the roof gardens and school field, are constantly used. Besides the core subjects, each boy can choose his own electives, such as Astronomy, Money Management and Etiquette, etc. To maximize students' exposure to different learning areas, teachers organize regular field trips, including overseas study trips for them. Cross-curricular projects are also adopted to reinforce students' application of knowledge and skills introduced in different subjects.
Development of Major Renewed Emphases of the Primary Education Curriculum : The school reinforces Values Education (including Life Education, National Education, and National Security Education) to nurture students' sense of national identity and cultivate their compassion, empathy, and well-roundedness.
Life-wide learning experiences are planned to foster students' whole person development, while cross-curricular learning through STEAM promotes problem solving and critical thinking skills amongst students.
Development of Generic Skills : All subjects share the same emphasis to help students develop various generic skills, such as creativity, critical thinking and communication skills, etc.
Cultivation of Proper Values, Attitudes and Behaviours : As a Christian school, our mission is to provide education for our students that promotes Christian values, which include kindness, giving and caring for each other. Students are reminded of these values through assemblies, the moral education and religious education curriculum, and daily interactions with teachers and peers. In addition, National Security Education is taught across all areas of the school curriculum to deepen students' understanding of the Country's development and national security, enhance their sense of national identity and nurture them as good law-abiding citizens.
Student Support
Whole School Approach to Catering for Learner Diversity : The school organizes lift-off classes in Chinese, English, Mathematics and Putonghua for G.1-6 students who have learning difficulties and recommended by subject teachers. The teacher/ student ratio is 1:8. Lift-off classes are on a term basis. Moreover, the school provides extra support for G.3-4 students who are academically weak in Chinese, English and Mathematics. The students attend 3A and 4A classes in a separate classroom. The teacher/ student ratio is 1:10.
Whole School Approach to Integrated Education : The School adopts the 3-Tier Support Model and provides in-class, small group and individual support to students. Special Educational Needs Coordinator leads the 'Student Support Team' to utilise the 'Learning Support Grant' to hire supporting staff and purchase professional services. For students with SEN, the School provides assessment accommodations, training groups and speech therapy according to the needs of individual students.
Education Support for Non-Chinese Speaking(NCS) Students : Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students' learning of Chinese; arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc; developing school-based Chinese Language curriculum and/or adapting learning and teaching materials; and organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school.
Curriculum Tailoring and Adaptation : Gifted Programmes are organized for the gifted and talented students to develop their specific talents in various subject areas. Lift-off Classes are organized to provide support for students who are weak in English, Chinese, Maths & Putonghua.
Home-school Co-operation and School Ethos
Home-School Co-operation : The school has established the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) for parents and teachers; and the Diocesan School Old Boys' Association (DSOBA) for the alumni. Through various activities, such as Garden Fete, seminars, outing, picnic, and games day, home-school co-operation could be enhanced. Furthermore, these activities serve the purpose for reinforcing the loyalty and school spirit among parents, old boys, teachers and students.
School Ethos : The school strongly encourages students to join different types of activities. Students are encouraged to make use of the school's rich resources to develop personal interests, broaden their horizons and explore the outside world. It is the school's goal to cultivate outgoing, positive and optimistic students who treasure friendship and are able to think laterally. There are two registered Social Workers stationed at the school to counsel students in need.
Future Development
School Development Plan : The major concerns of the School Development Plan for School Years 2023/2024-2025/2026 are:
1. Developing Diocesan boys into life-long learners.
2. Strengthening students' identity and sense of belongings towards our country.
3. Promoting empathy & respect for diversity to create a harmonious & supportive learning environment.
Teacher Professional Training & Development : Teachers are required to write their own 3-year Staff Development Plan. Staff workshops and seminars are organized regularly. Teachers are always encouraged to attend courses and workshops outside of school, locally or overseas.
