Aims  The GS Curriculum aims at:  maintaining healthy personal development and becoming confident, rational and responsible citizens  recognising their roles and responsibilities as members of the family and society as well as show concern for the common good  developing curiosity and interest in the natural world and technological world as well as understanding the impact of science and technology on society   developing care and concern for the environment and practising green living  developing a sense of national identity and be committed to contributing to the nation and the world

Overview  We adopt:  Inquiry-based Learning Approach: organizing activities such as scientific investigation, news sharing and project learning  STEM Education: incorporate STEM projects into the curriculum, so that students can fully engage in hands-on and minds-on activities to experience scientific investigation  Life-wide Learning: Diverse teaching and learning strategies such as role plays, case studies and debates are adopted. Activities beyond-classroom/after-school such as visits, field trips and workshops are also organized to enhance their learning experience.  e-Learning: provide e-learning tools, teaching videos and online learning resources to cater for students’ diverse learning interests  Values Education: With the provision of Reading across the Curriculum and the learning approach of life events, students can deepen their understanding of the Chinese culture and uphold the positive moral values

Humanities

The Primary Humanities curriculum provides students with a well-rounded foundation in personal development, cultural heritage, civic awareness, and global understanding.

Key Curriculum Objectives:

• Holistic Growth & Well-being: Builds healthy lifestyle habits, emotional resilience, personal safety awareness, and positive interpersonal skills from Primary 1 through Primary 6.
• Values & Character Cultivation: Nurtures 12 priority values and attitudes, including responsibility, respect for others, diligence, perseverance, empathy, law-abidingness, and filial piety.
• National & Cultural Knowledge: Develops an understanding of Chinese history, cultural heritage, national geography, and constitutional foundations such as the Basic Law and national security.
• Digital & Global Literacy: Prepares students to navigate the modern world through media ethics, online safety, environmental conservation, and global awareness.

 

The Six Learning Strands:

1. Health & Living: Personal hygiene, growth and pubertal changes, emotional management, personal   safety, and risk reduction.
2. Environment & Living: Local and national geography, climate changes, natural resource conservation, and green living habits.
3. Financial Management & Economy: Smart money management, consumer rights, digital payment safety, and Hong Kong's economic role.
4. Community & Citizenship: School and community roles, civic responsibilities, law-abidingness, and the constitutional background of HKSAR.
5. Our Country & Me: Chinese dynasties and historical figures, national symbols, cultural heritage, and recent national progress.
6. The World and Me: Information literacy, cyber safety, cultural diversity, and global interdependence.

Science

Our primary school science curriculum follows the framework of the official Science Education Key Learning Area Curriculum Guide, centering on a student-oriented, "hands-on, minds-on" approach to ignite students' curiosity, investigative spirit, and capacity for innovation.

 

Curriculum Aims & Rationale

• Curiosity & Inquiry: Guides students to observe everyday phenomena, formulate questions, and build evidence-based scientific thinking alongside logical reasoning skills.
• Joyful & Applied Learning: Connects concepts with real-world contexts to foster engaging learning, empowering students to apply scientific knowledge to solve authentic problems.
• Creating the Future: Nurtures engineering mindsets, innovative capacity, and environmental awareness, helping students appreciate the impact of science and technology on society and sustainable development.

 

Four Core Learning Strands

1. Life & Environment: Human health, characteristics and structures of living organisms, life cycles, ecosystems, and the microscopic world.
2. Matter, Energy & Change: States and changes of matter (physical and chemical changes), forms of energy (light, sound, heat, electricity), and forces and motion.
3. Earth & Space: Earth's features and natural resources, weather and climate change, the water cycle, and the solar system and space exploration.
4. Science, Technology, Engineering & Society: Scientific inquiry processes and spirit, aerospace and innovative technology applications, and engineering design cycles.

 

Learning Activities & LEGO Science Integration

• Scientific Inquiry (PDAR): Students systematically progress through four inquiry stages: Plan, Do, Analyze, and Reflect.
• Engineering Design (PDIR): Enhances practical problem-solving skills through the iterative cycle of "Plan (Define Problem), Do (Build Model), Inspect (Test & Refine), and Reflect".
• LEGO Science Integration: Seamlessly embeds Lego educational tools and mechanical kits into the engineering design (PDIR) curriculum, allowing students to assemble gears, levers, and wheel-and-axle structures to build and refine physical models, gain intuitive insights into physics and structural engineering, and develop overall STEAM literacy.

Assessment & Assignment Strategies

• Formative Assessment: Incorporates classroom observation, interactive questioning, practical logs, and group discussions to provide timely feedback and track learning progress.
• Summative Assessment: Combines periodic written assessments with hands-on tasks to evaluate conceptual understanding and practical problem-solving abilities.
• Self & Peer Assessment: Encourages students to present model designs and reflect on inquiry journeys, cultivating self-directed learning habits.
• Diversified Assignments: Features experimental observation journals, engineering design sketches, data analysis sheets, and STEAM project presentations.
