Characteristics of the School-based Curriculum

1. NET programme

Using a set of revised text sets and activities designed by school teachers and NETs, students can acquire effective strategies to enhance their language skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing.

2. Reading across the Curriculum (RaC) and Home Reading Scheme

Students are encouraged to appreciate the value of reading through introducing them to different text sets through lessons. Teachers also assign fiction or non-fiction e-books to the students through RazPlus platform so that the reading habits can be nurtured gradually.

3. Catering for Learning Diversity

To cater learner diversity, different activities are organized by school teachers and NETs. Our school provides various ECAs including Reading Club, English Language & Movies and English Ambassadors. Therefore, students’ potentials can be unleashed. Apart from the ECAs, graded learning materials based on their learning needs are prepared so that no children will be left behind at school.

D. Creating a Reading Environment

The Reading Room provides a reading environment for students to share what they’ve read or silent reading for pleasure.

Students with easy access to reading materials in the Reading Room. A variety of books are within easy access to students. Students are invited by NET and become a ‘Reading Buddy’. English Ambassadors would conduct the shared reading. Students can also have activities related to daily life experiences in the Reading Room, to connect their learning experiences through role play, games or non-fiction texts.
