Features of our school-based curriculum

1.  Under the Grant Scheme on Promoting Effective English Learning in Primary Schools (PEEGS), we enrich the English

     language environment in school through conducting more English language activities.

2.  Under the guidance of the Education Bureau, we have also implemented a primary literacy program (PLP-R/W) for P1 to

     P3, which focuses on reading and writing, real-life tasked based learning and the comprehensive integration of all

     language skills, to improve the literacy levels of the students.

3.  The Net Scheme provides an authentic environment for students to learn English. Native English teachers work with local

     needs of local students.
