We place a strong emphasis on the integrity of students. Teachers are strict but compassionate. We teach students with patience.<br>In the latest report of External School Review, we received high appreciation as follows: School puts priority in caring students, strongly believes students can distinguish the right from wrong, they are willing to learn and can be changed. Principal and teachers care students and guide them steps by steps, aiming at giving students to experience success and help them to build up confidence. In turn, they can have stronger motivation to learn. School enriches students learning experience with a wide range of extra-curricular activities, inter-school competitions and cross-border learning. Students are encouraged to strive for excellence both inside and outside classroom. Teachers and students, therefore, build up a strong bond with mutual trust and respect. Such a caring learning atmosphere enhances students’ sense of belonging to school. Parents also appreciate the school’s support and care to their children. Teachers have strong team spirit and offer mutual support. Middle managers also set good role models and are willing to take up responsibilities. School has successfully laid a strong foundation in managing and nurturing students, and will continue to help students cultivate good learning habits and strengthen moral education. |
