Our School-based Curriculum aims to develop pupils’ confidence in communicating in English while considering the development of well-rounded individual students. The curriculum is module-based with age-appropriate themes and topics that match with pupils’ development stages. Pupils will learn English skills and other life skills through a variety of tasks and projects which enhance their understanding and use of the English Language.

Our School-based Curriculum includes curriculum to overcome common learning difficulties. There are different grammar items which pupils may find difficult to understand and use. Therefore, our teachers have designed a set of booklets to help pupils tackle common learning difficulties in a more systematic way.

In order to promote pupils’ English writing proficiency, a theme-based writing task named ‘Happy Writing’ is designed for pupils in each chapter. The theme-based writing task includes ‘Pre-Happy Writing’, ‘Happy Writing’ and ‘Post Happy Writing’. The set of writing task scaffolds pupils to write in English with adequate support and confidence.

Our native-speaking English teacher Miss Dong has been teaching at our school for more than 10 years. She teaches storybooks with a lot of fun activities to junior classes. She also teaches senior classes how to do their presentation and think critically.

Joyful Christmas Week was held in December. Pupils celebrated by enjoying many fun activities. Our English Ambassadors were very helpful in helping the schoolmates in making Christmas hats. They also had Christmas Bingo, and writing Christmas tags to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Everyone had a wonderful time!

We had activities to welcome Halloween and to celebrate with students. The English Ambassadors and teachers were all dressed in beautiful costumes! Students played games at recess and lunch break. They got a treat from the English Ambassadors. Everyone had a lot of fun.

One of the highlights of the event was the ‘Halloween Photos’. Students selected a Halloween speech bubble and took a photo with the witches. It was a fabulous and fun week for everyone!

English Ambassadors are trained regularly to assist in conducting various English activities. They need to communicate with teachers and pupils in English. ‘Practice makes Perfect!’

English broadcasts in the morning are hosted by our English reporters. They do some sharing about themselves and talk about school events.

English Channel & English Radio have entertained the whole school. Various video shows and radio shows are broadcasted.

Our school has organised an activity incorporating STEM into the curriculum. It shifts traditional textbook teaching to project-based learning, which can be more authentic and interesting. This helps promote creativity and exploration in the learning process.

Thirty students from Primary 4 to 6 were flown to Sydney to take part in a seven-day Australia Study Tour. During the seven-day study tour, students explored the culture and history of Sydney. They visited many different places, experienced school visits and savoured Australian cuisine.

Students joining the trip benefited from learning out of the classroom. The tour not only provided students with an opportunity to experience Australia from different perspectives, it allowed students to enrich their knowledge and broadened their international exposure.
