Dear Students, Parents, and Teachers,

The new school year has begun! This 2024-25 school year marks the firstyear of our school’s new development cycle. I would like to thank all mycolleagues for analysing the opinions and data gathered from variousstakeholders last school year and holistically reviewing the effectivenessof the previous three-year school development cycle. After thoroughdiscussions, we have set out the major areas of concernsfor the next threeyears: (1) Strengthen Values education, deepen the study of Chinesehistory and culture, and cultivate students’ national identity and goodmoral character; and (2) Establish a healthy lifestyle, broaden students’learning experiences, develop personal interests and potential, andpromote balanced physical and mental development.

Our school subject and group panels will lead members to work in line withthe above areas of concerns, including planning and implementing asystematic values education curriculum, with Chinese history and cultureas the backbone. Relevant teaching and learning materials will be designedto cultivate students’ national identity and good character. Additionally, a‘Healthy Living’ working group has been set up to lead, develop,implement and evaluate initiatives aimed at fostering healthy living habitsamong students. The school health theme of 2024-25 is “Put yourself inother’s shoes to show compassion, unite efforts in mutual trust.” All subjects and groups will support this theme by preparing related activities to promote health messages to students.

Our colleagues will continue to set strategic directions for students’needs within the latest educational policy environment (e.g., curriculumreform, seven learning goals, the twelve priority values and attitudes, etc.)In various aspects of special education, we will optimize through cycles of“planning, implementation and review.” I hope all stakeholders will worktogether with a united heart, accompanying students in their school life.Let us communicate, trust, support and encourage each other. Fosteringstudents’ health and growth, unleashing their potential and enjoying ahappy school life.
