We believe in hands-on learning. Each unit culminates in a peak project where students engage in project-based learning, presentations, and final writing activities. Assessments are integral to our teaching and learning approach, focusing on student progress and growth in various skills.
我們相信「口從做中學」，所以學生在每個單元學習結束時，都會以行動作結。包括演講、專題研習、寫作活動等。「評估」也是我們教學和學習方法的重要組成部分，侧重於學生在各種技能上的進步和成長。
Assessment Purposes:
Assessment reports are sent home to parents, reflecting on students' English skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing, and presenting. Teachers play a crucial role in monitoring student progress, guiding them through the learning process, and providing valuable feedback to support their growth and development.
定期向家長發放學生【評估報告】，內容包括學生的四項英語能力(口語、聽力、閱讀、寫作)，還有口頭報告的能力。老師持續地觀察學生學習進度，在學習過程中向學生提供反饋，讓他們得以進步和成長。
• Determine what students know and understand
• Inform and differentiate teaching and learning
• Monitor student progress and provide feedback
• Evaluate the efficacy of the programme
• Inform the professional development of staff
We believe in fostering a strong partnership between parents and educators to enhance students' learning experiences. Parent involvement plays a crucial role in supporting and enriching the educational journey of our students. Here are some ways parents can actively engage with their child's learning:
我們相信「家校合作」的力量，家長的參與能為學生提供更多的體驗，發揮著重要的支援作用。以下是家長可以積極參與孩子學習的方式：
以開放和正面的態度鼓勵及支持孩子的學習，口頭讚賞及建議、學習材料/工具的供應、協助或陪伴孩子一同完成任務、為孩子創造空間、與孩子一同探究發揮好奇心、容許孩子多些反思和發問、成為家長義工參與校內學習活動等。若得到你的支持，孩子能在日常家居生活中延伸學習，最終一定會有出人意料的果效。
