Po Leung Kuk Thomas Liu Lit Ching Kindergarten

Our kindergarten is the 11th kindergarten established by Po Leung Kuk in 1989. We provide a spacious outdoor activity area for our students and offer a semi-open campus in which the classrooms and outdoor area are well designed for the utilization of natural light and ventilation. There are independent balconies in most of our classrooms, allowing our students to learn and study in a free and comfortable environment. There is ample space for our students to release their energy and nurture interest in multiple disciplines. Over the years, our school mission is to uphold a caring and collaborative learning framework for our students.

We believe our school principal, teachers and parents are devoted to nurturing the growth of our students with strong character and loving attitude.

Our school curriculum follows the latest “Kindergarten Education Curriculum Guide” (2017) issued by the Education Bureau of Hong Kong. It covers the 6 learning areas which are carefully woven into our class system. "Play" is the learning pillar that promotes "group teaching", and encourages "independent learning" and "collaborative learning" principles. Our teachers will introduce the "project approach" to make adjustment for students’ interests and capabilities. The objective is to trigger learning initiative that helps enrich learning experiences. Our curriculum also includes self-management, conduct, and ethical studies to help students build exceptional learning habits and ethical moral values.

Play is a fundamental activity that encourages children to cooperate, learn and have fun in a positive way. Therefore, our objective is to provide the correct tools and environment for our students to learn and study in a fun manner. Through play, our students can gain important life experiences and value understanding, and learn other disciplines and concepts.

Through story-telling, group work and "conduct baby program", we help students to develop moral ethics and positive conduct. There is a leader board in each class to encourage students to act and behave respectfully.

Through scientific themes, we provide students in all class levels with the opportunity to explore scientific concepts. Through experiences and activities, we help students learn physical concepts and promote the attitude of constant exploration and self-learning among students.

For our kindergarten and pre-school students, we provide the "READ & WRITE : A Jockey Club Learning Support Network” to help students with listening, speaking, reading and writing. This helps to promote pronunciation, vocabulary, text recognition, grammar, character strokes, response, active movements, pen and writing styles, and more language based knowledge and skills.

We conduct back exercise sessions for every morning or afternoon class. We also introduce short in-class exercise time slots to help students develop correct posture habits, to strengthen their body and promote better overall health.

Our professional foreign teacher leads students through a cheerful and native learning environment. We have created a range of phonics, communication, game activities and language scenarios to help our students learn correct pronunciation, portrayal, speaking and other core language skills. Our diverse activities include conversations, songs, speeches, games, and school plays to create a complete English learning environment. These activities help to build up the confidence of our students and encourage them to gain interest and initiative in learning English.

We conduct fitness tests to help us understand our students’ physical status and development. Students who reach a certain fitness standard will receive a certificate of merit.

Our school provides continuous assessment and student learning program. By recording and monitoring students’ learning continuously, we aim to distinguish the progress of each student in order to pinpoint and improve individual weaknesses, and to provide quality learning goals and habits. We can monitor students’ language skills, attitude, group work, understanding, health and artistry. To further improve learning outcomes, we invite parents to collaborate with us by monitoring their children’s progress at home and beyond.

Through our Cantonese Pronunciation Project, we help students learn through storytelling. The idea is to establish a solid foundation for Cantonese pronunciation. Every year we provide a pronunciation test for our kindergarten classes to identify students in need and help those students to improve their pronunciation with direct tutoring and lessons. We also ask parents to join the "Proper Cantonese pronunciation seminar" to help them learn correct pronunciation with recommended techniques.
