幼小銜接 Interface between Primary and Kindergarden

幼稚園與小學是兩個截然不同的學習階段，不論學習模式和學習環境都有不同程度的差異。本校期望透過一系的措施，以循序漸進的方式協助新生適應小學生活，讓學生在一個充滿關愛的校園學習，享受愉快的學習歷程。

基本方針：

• 培養小一學生的適應能力；
• 增加小一學生對學學習信心和興趣，保持積極主動學習態度；
• 營造關愛校園文化、建立師生關係及培養學生對學校的歸屬感；
• 與家長建立夥伴關係和有效的溝通渠道，達到共識，方便學校開展各項工作；
• 邀請幼稚園生及家長來小學參與「幼小銜接」活動；
• 與社區機構保持聯繫，在有需要時能為小一學生提供支援服務。

Kindergarten and primary school are two distinct stages of learning and there are varying degrees of differences in their learning modes and environments. To help students bridge these two stages and gradually adapt to primary school life, our school adopts a variety of measures for students to kick off their learning journey in this caring campus.

Fundamental approaches:

• To cultivate Primary One students’ adaptability;
• to arouse P1 students’ learning interest and confidence and maintain a proactive learning attitude;
• to build a caring campus, develop teacher-student relationship and strengthen students’ sense of belonging;
• to establish partnership with parents and build effective communication channels to facilitate the school work;
• to invite kindergarten students and parents to come and join the relevant activities; and
• to keep in touch with community organizations to provide support to P1 students when necessary.
