Features of our school-based curriculum
1. Under the English Enhancement Grant Scheme for Primary Schools, we provide a language rich English learning experience for students by conducting a broad range of English language activities, using quality English language learning resources and maximizing e-learning educational opportunities.
2. With support from the Education Bureau’s School-based (English Language) Curriculum Development in Primary Schools, in 2017 we adopted a P1 to P4 school-based English curriculum, with the P5 to P6 school-based English curriculum commencing this year. One of the objectives of this program is to develop students writing skills by engaging in authentic writing tasks such as process writing.
3. 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.
