2. Enhancing students’ interest in learning
Students’ interest was aroused through interesting learning methods such as eLearning. On
Teachers Collaboration D ay, some panels, for instance, English, Chemistry and PE,
discussed the use of eLearning to enhance the interest of students in the subjects. Also, in
the lesson observation, colleagues were requested to insert at least one “interesting
element” into their lessons.
3. Catering for learner diversity
Despite the spread of Covid-19, the school strove to cater for learner diversity. To assist
low-achievers to obtain better results, the junior form remedial classes and S1 EMI class
were kept in the form of Zoom lessons. To help the less motivated students, the ASHWC
was kept in the form of an online class. Regarding the Special Enhancement and Remedial
Program (SERP) for the senior forms, most of them were conducted online. As for the
high-achievers, the Youth Leadership Program (YLP), the signature activity of English
public speaking, as well as activities of the Chinese public speaking, would be postponed
to late second term.
4. Refreshing teachers with up-to-date teaching pedagogy
At the beginning of the school year, IT training was provided for all on the use of eClass,
PowerLesson and so on. In order to further promote the use of Google tools, training was
provided on the use of Google Classroom. As for promotion of the use of Google Drive,
the IT Department produced a video to introduce the tool and provided assistance for
individual panels or departments in setting up the drive and transferring files to the drive.
In addition, all teaching assistants were trained about how to set Google form and they in
return helped those colleagues in need to acquire the skill. Apart from the above,
collaboration between the Drama panel and the Chinese language panel on Drama in
Education was carried out throughout the year. Furthermore, colleagues were encouraged
from tim e to time to enhance their professional capacity through participating in
professional development programs (PDP). From the KPM report this year, teachers were
positive t owards teachers’ professional development (3.7, highest among 19/20-21/22).
Also, the KPM reveals that both students and teachers were quite positive towards teaching
(3.6 and 4.2 respectively, both data are the highest among 19/20-21/22).
5. STEAM education
STEAM education was mainly promoted by the S TEAM committee and the STEAM club,
under the supervision of the vice-principal. One of the achievements of STEAM education
must be the establishment of the STEAM Laboratory, which has become a landmark for
PLHKS. Both short-term and long-term plans were formulated. In the short run, lesson
plans were made and tried out. This experience was part of the teacher training. In the long
