Our Curriculum Adventures

Experiential learning is central to learning in our Primary School, and your child’s learning will have been enriched with experiential opportunities throughout EYFS and Key Stage 1. Our teachers actively look for opportunities to take learning outside the classroom and build on the Beach and Forest School experiences the students had previously; our location is perfect for this. Local trips to the beaches and hills of Discovery Bay support student learning and help them to appreciate all that makes our community special. Our growing Forest School programme continues to support this area of learning throughout Key Stage 2, and these experiences give the students a unique opportunity to investigate the natural world, collaborate, construct, build and further develop their awareness of sustainability and our ecologically diverse environment.

Residential camps and trips are an integral part of our learning curriculum, and as such, all children are expected to participate. Residentials provide exciting opportunities for students to learn and grow in a way that other experiences cannot. They help them create memories that they will treasure for life. Residential camps take place in Hong Kong – Year 3 for one night, Year 4 over two nights and Year 5 over three nights – with Year 5 students getting the opportunity to put up their tents and camp next to one of the many beautiful Lantau beaches. Year 6 travel to the camping ground of Cheung Chau for four nights. During these camps, the students are exposed to challenges that many will not have experienced before. They develop real-life problem-solving skills, and many will return home proud of their achievements after overcoming fears and attempting activities they never thought possible.
