TypesSchool Development Plan, Annual School Plan
Shek Lei Catholic Primary School is a subsidized primary school in Kwai Tsing District adopting the five core Catholic values (Truth, Justice, Love, Life, Family) and the motto 'Diligence, Courage, Simplicity, Sincerity'. Its recent development focuses on cross-curricular learning and positive character building. The campus is spacious but transportation is limited.

Report highlights

  • School Development Plan (2025-2028) continues two major concerns: fostering good character through Catholic values and developing cross-curricular programs to nurture self-directed learners.
  • 2024-2025 Annual School Plan centers on 'Truth', using religious model students, morning prayers, and 'Easy Easy Good Deeds' plan to cultivate simplicity and sincerity.
  • 2023-2024 plan focused on 'Justice', integrating the Ten Commandments and encouraging courage and honesty through similar activities.
  • APASO data in 2021-2025 review shows students' positive emotions and absence of negative emotions exceed Hong Kong norms, indicating effective positive culture.
  • Strengths include spacious facilities, diverse activities, a skilled teaching team, and strong parent-school cooperation; weaknesses include student self-learning needing improvement and aging facilities.
  • School has transition groups (K1-P1 and P6-S1) organizing orientation activities and parent workshops.
  • Cross-curricular reading themes are implemented across grades, integrated with library sessions to deepen knowledge.

School values

Family action plan

  • Encourage children to practice 'Easy Easy Good Deeds' at home (e.g., helping with chores, saving resources) as per school programs.

  • Note school priorities like cross-curricular reading, STEM, and gifted education; cultivate relevant interests in children.
  • Check school website for K1-P1 transition activities; early registration is advised.

Parent interview prep

  • Be ready to express alignment with Catholic core values; share how your family practices truth, justice, etc.

  • Read simple Chinese/English books; be ready to talk about a favorite story.
