Humanities

Key programmes

Authentic and experiential learning experiences

The suite of authentic and experiential learning experiences allows students to make connections between the learning they are doing in the classroom and the world. Students immerse in experiences which encourage reflection to hone existing and develop new skills, attitudes and dispositions.

Secondary 3 students embark on an overseas Humanities immersion programme to gain a more comprehensive understanding of different ideas and perspectives about the world, and recognise and appreciate diversity by empathising and respecting other cultures.

(ii) Humanities Alive!

Secondary 3 Express and Normal (Academic) students participate in various learning journeys which provide them with opportunities to apply and draw connections between concepts they have learnt and the real world.
