The Design Principles of School-based Curriculum:
The school's curriculum design is based on the principle of "a unified curriculum framework". It refers to the central curriculum documents, adapts and develops the school-based curriculum according to the central curriculum framework, so that students can learn effectively, promote the all-round development of students, and be able to extend what they have learned to their daily life, transforming knowledge into ability, and being prepared for future life needs.
Characteristics of the School-based Curriculum:
Student-centered, catering to individual differences; designing appropriate curriculum based on students' existing knowledge and abilities.
Exploring students' potential and developable abilities, closely linking learning goals with daily life, and preparing for the future.
Connecting career planning education, providing teaching and therapeutic elements in the plan, enriching students' learning experience, and improving students' quality of life.

The basic education curriculum of the school has laid a good learning foundation for students in terms of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. The teaching content and planning can also be coordinated with the senior high school curriculum, taking into account the vertical connection of different learning stages, as well as the balance of essential learning experiences, generic skills, and learning domains at each learning stage, so that students can achieve balanced and comprehensive development in knowledge accumulation, skill mastery, and attitude and habit cultivation.
Learning Support:
To cater to the individual needs of students, the school also has learning support, including:
Non-Chinese Speaking Support
The learning content of the school's non-Chinese speaking curriculum mainly refers to the curriculum guidelines of the Education Bureau and is designed according to the ability of the school's non-Chinese speaking students. It will also be adapted according to the thematic learning content of the school-based Chinese curriculum. Teachers will provide in-class support to assist students in their learning in Chinese lessons.
Autism Support
Referring to the Education Bureau's guidance on teaching plans for autistic children in special schools, teachers will provide additional learning and growth support for autistic students, helping them to increase their learning interest, understanding and thinking skills, improve their social interaction, communication and emotional regulation skills, enhance their ability to adapt to the environment and live independently, and establish socially recognized behaviors, so as to fully develop their potential and integrate into the community. Teachers will first assess the needs of students, then formulate individual support plans for the relevant students, and provide support to students in individual, small group or in-class modes according to their needs.
