Overview
VISION
To stimulate and bring out the flair of language in every student, by leading them to reach their maximum potential; and to nurture the love of Chinese in them.
MISSION
To provide and sustain a learning environment which brings out the maximum potential of our pupils, strengthening both their English and Chinese languages, and engage them to learn in an academically conducive environment.
Highlights / Focus Area
The Chinese department makes use of highly interactive resources to support Chinese teachers in the teaching of daily lessons. Teachers adopts collaborative teaching strategies and employ IT resources (for example Student Learning Space, e-Zhishi learning resources) actively during lessons to enhance their teaching. One of the key focus areas of our department is making thinking visible. To achieve this, we adapt various thinking routines and the UPAR Thinking Protocol, which systematically encourages students to build their competencies in a structured manner. In addition, we emphasize making learning relevant by creating opportunities for students to apply what they learn in their daily lives. With carefully designed scaffolding, students are supported to progressively develop and master skills in speaking, reading, and writing. This approach ensures a holistic and practical learning experience for every student.
Curriculum Differentiation to Meet Students' Learning Needs
To meet the diverse learning needs of our students, we offer curriculum differentiation through a range of programmes. For students who require additional support and guidance, we offer the Mother Tongue Support Programme (MTSP) and pull-out programmes. The MOE-led MTSP is a tailor-made initiative designed to help students learn Chinese through interactive games and activities. With smaller class sizes, teachers are able to provide more individualised feedback to address each student's unique learning needs. For students who excel at learning Chinese, we offer enrichment programmes to further develop their skills. Students who meet the required criteria are given the opportunity to refine and develop their Chinese language skills, empowering them to reach their full potential.
