Our Curriculum Adventures

Our school is located in a unique and environmentally diverse part of Hong Kong, and we therefore make the most of the exciting context in which our children are educated. Throughout Key Stage 1, the children engage with trips within our local community, including to the beaches and hills of Discovery Bay. These experiences give the children a unique opportunity to investigate the natural world, collaborate, construct, build and further develop their awareness of sustainability and our ecologically diverse environment.

In addition, the children participate in excursions that take them outside of Discovery Bay to explore other areas of Hong Kong. These trips are linked to the curriculum and provide the children with opportunities to learn from experts in their field, explore new areas and engage directly with aspects of the curriculum they have been learning about. For example, previous excursions have included visits to Disneyland when learning about structures and mechanics.

We also arrange for guest speakers to visit the children in school, and we welcome parent visitors to help the children learn about different traditions, celebrations and occupations. Furthermore, we invite parents to join the children as mystery readers to share stories throughout the year, which is a wonderful way of helping the children engage with our rich and diverse community.
