C. Implementation:
Junior Form Curriculum
Junior Form Liberal Studies provides opportunities for students to explore issues relevant to their living in a wide range of contexts. The coverage includes contemporary issues, media resources in simpler and easier context. It helps students to make connections among different disciplines, examine issues from a variety of perspectives, and construct background knowledge, relevant vocabulary and cultivate their logical thinking and skills in identifying the causal relationship. Meanwhile, project learning and various generic skills are integrated in the curriculum.
The implementation of project learning as one of the four key strategies in the curriculum reform of basic education to help students to achieve the goal of “learning to learn”, has enabled them to develop many skills for conducting enquiries. The open and flexible curriculum framework will be adopted at school as a part of students’ learning experience, thus equipping them with generic skills and helping them to connect knowledge from different fields.
Senior Form Curriculum
Senior Secondary Liberal Studies is a response to the community’s expressed needs for a cross-curricular learning opportunity for all senior secondary students. The curriculum designs helps to foster intellectual ability in general, and develop multiple perspectives that will be of benefit to students in further studies at the tertiary level. Through the enquiry and in-depth discussion, students should be cultivated their civic literacy, social awareness and ability to make informed decisions.
To prepare students for their IES, there will be an IES day designed for F4 students after the post-final examination period. A wide variety of activities, such as visiting to the museums, community visits, heritage tours, etc. will be arranged to cater for students with different interests for their research.
Senior Form students benefit from the sharing sessions led by alumni. Graduates of Lam Woo come back to share their experience and preparation for their DSE. Tutorial classes are arranged for students in need.
