Cultivating Moral Character, Shaping the Leaders of Tomorrow

 

Our school attaches great importance to students’ whole-person development, laying emphasis on nurturing students' moral character and encouraging them to pursue academic excellence. By providing diversified learning activities, we help students develop generic skills and foster correct values. We expect our students to be able to make good judgement; be benevolent; practice Chinese virtues; and become pillars of society.

 

On the open days of the 40^th anniversary, teachers, students, parents, and alumni gathered at the school celebrating Tanghinians’ versatility as shown in their excellent performance in academics, music, sports, and culture. In recent years, our students participated in different competitions and won numerous awards, including the North District Outstanding Student Selection, the Outstanding Student Election of the New Territories, the Outstanding Student Leaders Award, and the Greater Bay Area Outstanding Students Award. In addition, we provided a large variety of activities after the pandemic, allowing students to participate in various competitions and outings, such as Mooting and Mock Trial Competitions, the Jump Rope for Heart Inter-School Rope Skipping Competition, the RoboMaster Youth Tournament, etc. We also launched several Cultural exchange activities, such as the Huizhou Cultural and Sports Exchange tour, the Shenzhen Cultural Conservation and Innovative Technology Tour, the Technology and Cultural Study Tour to Tokyo, and the English Learning and Cultural Exchange Tour to Oxford. The school fully utilizes the resources available to give students a profound understanding of Chinese history and culture, national affairs and national security, effectively increasing students' sense of pride and identity as Chinese. Students also obtained impressive results in the Hong Kong National Security Competition, Basic Law and Constitution Competition, and even had the opportunity to share on behalf of all students in Hong Kong at the "National Security Education Day Opening Ceremony".

 

Building on past achievements, we have drawn up the school development plan for the next three years. We aim to help students’ moral integrity and enable them to achieve their talents and lead a life of virtues. The following are our major concerns:

 

1. Enable students to achieve the best learning outcomes

We will sharpen students' thinking skills through effective teaching methods and encourage cross-curricular cooperation and self-directed learning to allow students to apply what they have learned. We will enrich the learning experience and promote STEAM education, entrepreneurship, and financial knowledge. The English subject curriculum will be reviewed and more opportunities will be provided for students to use English. We will cater for the different needs of students so as to allow students to give full play to their strengths.

 

2. Enable students to be responsible nationals imbued with a sense of global identity

We will promote the Education Bureau's priority values and attitudes based on Confucianism, Taoism and traditional Chinese virtues. Students' national and global identity will be strengthened by enriching their knowledge, arousing their feelings towards their identity and guiding them to take corresponding action. Students’ information literacy will be improved by integrating nation-centered sentiments and skills for the 21^st century.

 

3. Empower students to become pillars of society

We expect our students to lead a healthy life and develop good habits. While enriching knowledge and skills, students can better understand themselves and seize opportunities to explore their interest and plan for their future. They should learn the essence of serving others. All these lay the foundation for them to become leaders and pillars of society when they grow up.

 

We, Tanghinians, will work together, turn challenges into opportunities, and create a better tomorrow for the next generation.
