 Key Programme

Conducted weekly within curriculum time, PAL provides Primary 1 and 2 students with a broad exposure in all four areas, ‘Sports and Games’, ‘Outdoor Education’, ‘Performing Arts’, as well as the ‘Visual Arts’.

 Using key strategies such as cooperative learning, experiential learning and motivational interviewing, the learning experience provide students an opportunity to develop various social and emotional competencies.

 The core of each lesson facilitates learning in the area of working together respectfully and enhancing interpersonal communication. For example, students learn to manage disagreements through appropriate words and actions while working on a common goal.
