Parent FAQ

What is Sau Ming Primary School's P1 assessment policy? Do I need to prepare my child for exams?

According to the School Annual Plan (2025-2026), P1 uses flexible and fun diversified assessments instead of traditional exams, aiming to create a positive atmosphere and sustain curiosity. Parents need not drill exams; instead, accompany children in play, reading, and exploration to foster active learning.

How does the school cater to students with different learning abilities?

School reports show teachers use differentiated instruction, challenging high-ability students while providing support for weaker ones. There are gifted programs and remedial classes. Parents can ask specific arrangements during open day/interview and share their child's traits to help the school understand needs.

Are there many opportunities for parent involvement? Will interview value parent participation?

The school actively promotes home-school collaboration, e.g., Friday morning basketball for parent-child activities, parent volunteer teams, and parent education talks. During interview, parents can express willingness to participate, but need not overpromise; the key is showing alignment with school philosophy.

What is the 'Star Award Scheme' and how does it affect children?

The scheme regularly commends students who excel in academics (Chinese, English, Math, General Studies) and character (responsibility, law-abiding, politeness, unity), serving as peer models. School reflection indicates it effectively boosts confidence and learning effectiveness. Parents can encourage good behavior at home to align with school recognition.

What is the medium of instruction and curriculum features?

The school uses Chinese (including Putonghua) and English. School-based curriculum includes drama, thinking skills, project-based learning, STEM, etc. A 'Bring Your Own Device' scheme promotes e-learning. Parents can learn about their child's interest in language and technology for discussion during interview.
