| Learning and Teaching Plan | ||
| Learning & Teaching Strategies | : | The school curriculum includes National Education and National Security Education and aims at providing students with an all-round education in a Christian context. Students attend a weekly church service held by the School Chaplain at Christ Church. We have an array of subjects stressing language, knowledge, thinking and learning skills, appreciation of the arts, as well as physical and spiritual well-being. We offer leadership training opportunities for more mature students. We expect students to serve the School and the community and also go on Outward Bound before they graduate. We want our students to be trilingual and we use Putonghua as the medium of instruction for Chinese. The School adopts an activity and project based learning approach; P.1 to P.6 - Science projects integrated with English, ICT and other subjects, Social Studies projects integrated with Chinese, ICT and other subjects, History & Geography projects (P.3 to P.6 only) integrated with English, ICT and other subjects. |
| Development of Major Renewed Emphases of the Primary Education Curriculum | : | In order to help students achieve the updated seven learning goals, the School continues to: 1. Teach students to understand their national identity, be concerned about the society, the nation and the world, and to fulfill their role as a responsible citizen. 2. Develop a sense of responsibility, commitment and law-abindingness amongst students. 3. Consolidate project learning, STEAM education, activity approach, e-learning and assessment as learning to sustain curriculum development. |
| Development of Generic Skills | : | We adopt an activity and project based learning approach to carry out curriculum development, cater to learner diversity, enable students to develop the nine generic skills and higher order thinking. |

Learning experiences are driven by a core value connected with related positive attitudes. Activities and educational talks are organised to cultivate students' understanding of the theme of the month. |

Students with special educational needs are provided with appropriate support in consultation with the Education Bureau. In coping with adverse conditions or changes in life, some children may require support in strengthening their resilience. In this regard, the School offers the Understanding the Adolescent Project for upper primary students. We also cultivate good values and attitudes in students through an all-round curriculum with integrated cross subject theme-based learning experiences and other school activities. |
| Whole School Approach to Integrated Education | : | The School adopts a whole school approach to integrated education and inclusive school culture. We utilise additional resources from the Education Bureau, e.g. Learning Support Grant and School-Based Educational Psychology Service. Based on the needs of students, we provide suitable services e.g. teaching adaptation and assessment accommodation, guidance and counselling support, training on social skills, speech therapy services, Individual Education Plans, etc. to support students with special educational needs. |
| 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; organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school; and our school uses Putonghua to teach Chinese in all classes / groups at all levels with extra support as appropriate, e.g. pull-out/small-group classes, learning and teaching resources with Pinyin, etc.. |
