What is Home-Based Learning (HBL)?

Home-Based Learning (HBL) allows students to learn from home, instead of going to school to learn with teachers and peers. It is also known as remote learning and it can take various forms. It may require our students to go online to access the learning materials and to interact virtually in real time with their teachers. Students may also be directed to sites including the Student Learning Space, Google Classroom and other sites which both teachers and students are mutually familiar with. HBL can also involve other learning tasks that do not require students to go online. This includes the use of textbooks, workbooks, worksheets and other hardcopy materials provided by teachers.

Why Home-Based Learning?

From 8 April 2020, all national schools will implement full HBL. This is part of our national 'circuit breaker' strategy to manage the spread of the Coronavirus disease. Full HBL is projected to end on 4 May 2020.

In the next Phase of HBL 2 Jun to 26 Jun), students will alternate between learning in school and at home. Sec 1 & 2 students will have their lessons in school on odd weeks and HBL on even weeks. Sec 3 students will have thier lessons in school on even weeks and HBL on odd weeks. Graduating classes will have lessons in school for both weeks.

What are the expectations of students on HBL day?
