Parent FAQ

How does the school support non-Putonghua-background students to adapt to Putonghua instruction?

According to school reports, Primary 1 students learn Hanyu Pinyin, and consolidation continues in later years. All subjects except English are taught in Putonghua, and morning assemblies and activities use Putonghua, creating an immersive environment. Parents can encourage children to listen to Putonghua stories or songs at home to strengthen language sense.

How is the 'Green in Sun Fong' curriculum carried out?

The 'Green in Sun Fong' school-based curriculum uses nearby Yuen Shin Park or the waterfront park for cross-curricular activities. For example, Chinese lessons involve observation and writing in the park, mathematics lessons conduct 'Math in Sun Fong' problem-solving activities, and General Studies include ecological learning. Additionally, Primary 3 has a 'Birds × 4 weeks challenge' and Primary 5 has a 'Butterfly × 3 weeks challenge' to integrate knowledge across subjects.

Does the school provide English support?

The school has native English-speaking teachers who collaborate with local English teachers. The Space Town literacy programme is used in Primary 1-3, and Keys2 in Primary 4-6. Composition classes have two teachers to cater for learning diversity. English morning assemblies, English Day, drama, and speech activities further enhance English proficiency.
