Using life events, the curriculum integrates Moral and Civic Education, National Education, and Media and Information Literacy to nurture students’ positive values and attitudes.
Through Integrated Learning, the school strengthens cross-curricular learning and Reading across the Curriculum, complemented by Life-wide Learning activities that enable students to step beyond the classroom, thereby enriching their learning experiences.
The school also attaches great importance to whole-person development by implementing STREAM education at all levels. STREAM activities foster students' interdisciplinary inquiry skills and problem-solving abilities in authentic daily-life contexts, while coding education is embedded in the curriculum through activities such as Scratch, Micro:bit and CoSpaces to develop students’ creativity and potential. |
