At Peicai Secondary, we have crafted our teaching approach with you in mind, inspired by the idea of a Ferris Wheel. Just like a Ferris Wheel’s carriers, our teaching methods are interconnected, with each part playing a vital role in your learning journey.
The Ferris Wheel Analogy:
Heart of the Wheel: The core outcomes we want for you. It is the 'What' you will achieve.
Carriers: The ways we teach – Design, Delivery, and Assessment and Feedback.
Connecting Bridge: The Positive Classroom Culture, linking the three carriers.
We have chosen the Ferris Wheel because it reflects the continuous cycle of our teaching techniques. Each part, while unique, is connected by the positive environment we create in our classrooms, ensuring you get the best out of your time with us.
