School-based Curriculum
Our school has been implementing the RWI Programme since 2007. Based on the synthetic phonics, the Programme integrates the four skills for students to learn English.

To further enhance the learning of English, our school has joined the PLPR/W Programme which is organized by the NET Section of the Education Bureau. All Primary One students go to the newly refurbished English room to take part in the Programme twice a week. The English Room provides an attractive print rich environment that is conducive to learning English. Students participate in child-centred activities that allow them to further develop reading and writing skills taught in the General English lessons.
