school visits

School Visit 1: Creative Primary School (CPS)

 

I love the school; the people are very caring and helpful. It is a school full of love. What I like about this school is they try to find out each student strength and weakness. They strongly believe every child has their potential and valuable. The principal make an effort to know all the students. I feel that many schools are too commercialized; they only care about the student's academic. We often neglect the student's emotional needs and interest. The student might not be good at academic, but he could be gifted in others like music. If the school is able to discover and encourage the student to develop his strength, he could be very successful. Instead of developing our people to be academic, we develop them to be what they are good at not only will they become a happy people, our country will also prosper.

 

 

School Visit 2: Yuen Long Lutheran Secondary School

 

The people are very warm and caring. After visiting the school, then I realize that our government has put in a lot of effort and capital in providing a favorable academic environment. The students that I have interviewed were well-behaved and polite. The students study very hard and the school train them to be student-centre instead of teacher-centre. In Bowen, I discover the students are too independent on teachers, most of the time it is the teacher who instruct the students what to do or the teacher does it himself / herself. However, in Yuen Long Lutheran, I can see that the students are more independent and self-driven. Throughout the presentation, it is the students who did most of the presentation. I think we need to train our student to be more independent and self-driven.

 

 

School Visit 3: Hong Kong Singapore International School  

 

The Singapore international school gives me an overall view of how Singapore curriculum can be taught in other country. They are quite similar to Singapore in the sense; they use English as a medium in all subjects except mother tongue. They are also using the same mathematics textbook as ours.
