Curriculum Policy |
|
Our school curriculum, structured to maintain breadth and balance, is designed to cater for students' varied needs, abilities and interests, with a strong emphasis on the full development of students' moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic potential. The school endeavours to achieve these goals by setting clear teaching objectives, designing a variety of teaching strategies as well as effectively monitoring homework and assessment policies. Through cross-curricular project-based learning, students' generic skills can be enhanced. A committee on the preparation of Liberal Studies for junior secondary students has also been set up since May 2004 with a view to planning and designing a curriculum in line with the new senior educational reform to be implemented in 2009. |

To provide opportunities for life-wide learning (LWL), the formal curriculum is complemented by a rich variety of student-centred activities. To encourage active participation in creative and challenging activities, our school incorporates LWL in formal lesson time (Day 3 afternoon in every cycle) and post-exam activity days in the school calendar. |
Apart from offering a good variety of activities, BPS follows closely the directions of the curriculum reform and tries to extend students' learning experience beyond the school context and even beyond the bounds of the local territory. A number of outdoor programmes with new insights for students have been organized and geared towards the development of students' generic skills. Over the years, our overseas exchange programmes included cities like Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom, Beijing and Japan. The increasing number of cross-curricular activities provides strong evidence that the value of these activities has been recognized as an integral part of the formal curriculum. |
