Curriculum planning
|
According to the curriculum guide of "Hong Kong Bureau of Education", the integrated curriculum is implemented by adopting real-life themes to help children to connect the learning content with their lives. Meanwhile, our English and Mandarin lessons are conducted by the native English speaking teacher and the native Mandarin speaking teacher respectively.
We will follow the "Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide" (2017) to plan curriculum. Children of nursery classes will not be asked to write, and there will not be mechanical copying exercises and drills on calculation.

Learning / Teaching approach and activities
|
St. Stephen’s Church Kindergarten fosters a student-centered approach to teaching and learning experiences using the HighScope approach and project-based activities. Students are encouraged to learn through exploration, observation, tailored lessons and draw on life experience with an aim to develop self-care and problem solving skills.
|
Assessment of children’s learning experiences
|
With the use of teaching aids and learning activities, we observe and evaluate children’s learning progress in the form of theme-based continuous assessment. Regular formal and informal assessments provide continual feedback used to improve teaching practices. Children’s assessment sheets are issued regularly. Other records such as observational reports, artwork analysis, English assessment sheets, and project learning reports together with summative assessment reports are distributed twice a year which summarize our children’s overall learning development. All these reports are well documented in the children’s learning portfolio.
