Various language activities and platforms are used to extend English learning outside school.
Learning and Teaching Strategies:
To achieve a student-centered learning environment, small class teaching and curriculum adaptation are arranged to cater for learner diversity. “YKH Elite Programme” is established to provide advanced enhancement courses in small groups for diligent students to broaden their mind. Our school also adopts online platforms to experience a “flipped classroom” to facilitate teaching effectiveness. There are also “learning frameworks” and monthly learning goals set in various subjects to help students evaluate their own learning progress clearly. Our school has adopted the BYOD policy to further exploit the advantages of using mobile computer devices in learning. Moreover, new subjects “Information Literacy & Computational Thinking Education” and “Maker Education” are introduced to the S.1 to S.3 curriculum. Students will design and develop electronic products through the study of programming. Also, STEM in Action, which is sponsored by the HK Jockey Club and supported by the CUHK, is implemented in S.2.
