About Us

Our school started to implement one lesson of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in the academic year of 2019/20. The promotion of STEM education in our school meets the world-wide education trend of making students ready for the fast-changing world in which they live. During this year, our school has been awarded in different aspects in STEM education, which including but not limited to:

1. 2019 Hong Kong STEM Tello Drone Competition (Primary)

- Overall Champion

- 3-D labyrinth – Champion

- 2^nd Runner up

2. A.I. Expo Drone Competition of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area 2019 Tello Drone - Formation Flying's Coding Competition in the Greater Bay Area (Primary)

- Champion

- Merit

3. New Territories West Drone Challenge Programming Obstacle

- 1^st Runner up

- 2^nd Runner up

4. The Primary Schools Science Competition in New Territories West

- Champion

- Best Wisdom Award

On the other hand, the role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in primary education has been transforming with the worldwide paradigm shift in education, in response to the challenges of a fast-changing world. ICT in education now become an important key to strengthen learning and teaching efficiency and effectiveness in the 21^st century, which help equipping students to be an independent and lifelong learner. Therefore, we have offered a double lesson each week for ICT & STEM education starting from academic year 2020/2021.

Our school-based ICT & STEM education is designed based on EDB’s Technology Education Key Learning Area Curriculum and Modular Computer Awareness Programme. We not only cover the study on knowledge skills, such that, how human beings solve their daily problems and how the process could be replicated and transferred to solve new problems that arise from time to time, but also focus on students’ generic skills as well as value and attitude, especially metacognition and digital citizenship.

Learning activities will be designed for students to explore ICT & STEM related concepts with modern teaching strategies, such as hands-on activity, inquiry-based learning, dynamitic teaching strategies and cooperative learning. In addition, besides the 3/F computer room and large varieties of teaching and learning resources, our school also spent a few hundred thousand to construct a STEM Laboratory on 2/F to enrich students’ learning experience and a sense of belonging. For the formative assessment, project-based learning will be taken place instead of having quizzes and homework traditionally.

Last but most importantly, our ultimate goal is not only to equip students with up-to-date 21^st century skills, but also arouse students’ learning motivation, as well as teaching and learning efficiency in all discipline through our ICT & STEM curriculum.

為切合世界發展的趨勢及裝備學生以應對經濟、科學和科技的迅速發展，本校已於2019/20學年推行小一至小六科學、科技、工程及數學 （STEM）教育，學生不但從中學會了不少STEM知識和技能，而且在公開比賽中，亦為學校贏得不少獎項，包括：

一、由艾思能達教育及大疆創新科技有限公司舉辦的《2019 全港無人機大賽 小學組》分別獲得全場總冠軍、立體迷宮賽 冠軍及編程障礙賽 季軍

二、由香港教育發展協會及粵港澳大灣區教育發展協會舉辦的《大灣區無人機編程賽》分別獲得大灣區無人機編程群飛表演賽 小學組 冠軍、大灣區無人機編程群飛表演賽 小學組 季軍及大灣區無人機編程比賽 中學及小學組 優異獎

三、由鐘聲慈善社胡陳金枝中學舉辦的《新界西無人機挑戰賽編程障礙賽》中獲得亞軍及季軍

四、由天主教培聖中學主辦的《新界西區小學科技大賽》獲得冠軍及智趣無限大獎

另一方面，面對踏進變遷速度快而複雜的廿一世紀，教學及教育改革是必不可少的，資訊及通訊科技教育的發展及基本理念亦隨著時代變遷及其挑戰而進行「範式轉向」。現時，資訊及通訊科技教育不但成為了提升各方面的學與教效率和效能重要的一環，而且能夠有效地協助學習者提升「學會學習」的能力，以達至「終身學習」。有見及此，本校於2020/21學年起為小一至小六學生增設一節資訊及通訊科技教育，並將資訊科技教育課及STEM教育課編排為雙教節。

本校的資訊及通訊科技和STEM教育課程設計者以不同的學習及心理發展理論、教育局建議的課程文件及電腦認知單元課程為基礎，並因應學生的需要、興趣、能力和學校的特點，編訂及發展適合本校的「校本課程」。課程內容將幫助學習者建立學習領域的知識，學習經歷著重人類如何能解決日常生活的問題，以及如何把此解難過程更新及轉移，以解決不斷出現的新問題，並協助學習者發展共通能力及培養正面的價值觀和積極的態度，尤其是「後設認知」及「數位公民教育」。

學習者將透過「動手做」、發現學習及合作學習等多元教學策略，學習與資訊及通訊科技和STEM教育各範疇的知識和技能。同時，本校除了將運用三樓的電腦室及多元化的教學用具進行學與教的活動外，本校亦特意斥資數十萬元建立二樓STEM創科實驗室，以豐富學生對STEM的經驗和歸屬感。另外，本校將以專題式學習取代傳統以紙筆功課及測驗形式進行進展性評估。

最後，本校的資訊及通訊科技和STEM教育最終目的為，裝備學生面對二十一世紀挑戰，並且提升學生對學習的興趣和動機，使各科的學與教效率能夠透過本科的學習最大化。
