Parent Education and Support
Mission
- To help children grow up in a safe and appropriate environment by delivering positive messages to families and the community to promote the culture of love and care.
- To cultivate active learning attitudes and independence in children through instructive and diversified activities. This enables children to have a comprehensive and balanced development.
- To instil curiosity in children through live observation and hands on exploration.
- To maintain trustful school-home relationship with frequent communication and co-operation.
Curriculum Characteristics
Curriculum emphasizes child-centered design at differential levels to match the life experience and community contexts, using stories, whole language approach, Montessori philosophy's practical life training, "Leap" curriculum with systemic body education, and aesthetic activities to promote children creativity to achieve holistic development, and to cultivate self-initiated learning attitudes and autonomy.
Whole Language Approach
We are convinced that teaching languages used in a social context or applied in real situations can help enhancing children's reading, writing and listening skills. Hence, teachers always act as storytellers and further require children to role-play and perform discussions.
In addition to activities, classrooms in our school are also equipped with language corners, which can let children learn vocabularies via wonderful decorations and interesting mini-games.
Project Approach
Teachers would implement project activities with children to identify a definite topic interested and to go through making hypothesis, information collection, exploration, observation, visit, concluding findings and presenting their learning outcomes.
Education on Emotional Intelligence
A systematic programme can guide children to control emotions, which can indirectly lead to caring culture. This programme lets children be aware of psychological characteristics and emotional changes, build up self-esteem and positive self-image. At the same time, they may find out the importance of respect and love.
Perceptual-Motor Programmes
Children love acquiring knowledge and learning skills by applying their five senses and body movements. Learning in such method is beneficial for their brain development. Therefore, Perceptual-Motor Programmes and Parent-child Homework of these Programmes are particularly designed for children to stimulate their senses and control of bodies. Participating in these programmes, children would be capable of maintaining sustained attention, controlling emotions along with living independently and confidently.
Practical Life Training
Teachers frequently present life trainings that emphasize the practical skills on self-care. Those trainings can assist children to build up a sense of responsibility and confidence. Children understand how to love themselves, others and even the environment.
Leap! – the Body Education Programme
Leap! was brought to Hong Kong by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation in partnership with the Cloud Gate Dance School. With over 10-year experiences, an expert team of Cloud Gate Dance School veteran dancers, dance and music educators, child education practitioners and psychologists foster development in physical, cognition, social and aesthetic aspects in children.
Leap! has been launching by T.W.G.Hs. This programme commences in October every academic year. Attending classes carried out by our Leap! tutor once a week, children can accumulate bodily experiences and learn to be respectful and caring.
Aesthetic Activities
The aesthetic activities promoted by the Lincoln Center Institute are famous for inspiring children creativity in fine art through designs and appreciations on art pieces in novel aspects. Concerning this achievement, we hold different relevant activities to excite children the development in the aesthetic domain.
Language Enhancement Programmes
Combining lessons with vivid rhythms and funny games, English or Mandarin native teachers can enhance the language proficiency in children.
