Sharing from participant schools

S.K.H. St. Peter's Primary School
Equip students with Christian values to face the challenges of the future

Ms WU Ying Yin Vice-principal
Mr WONG Tin Chung Discipline master

Hello everyone! We are vice principal Ms Wu and discipline master Mr Wong from
S.K.H. St. Peter's Primary School! We are primarily responsible for the school ethos and
student support. By participating in the Service Leadership 3Cs for Entrepreneurial Teacher Leaders
training programme organised by the Asia Pacific Centre for Leadership and Change of EdUHK,
we had the opportunity to share our experiences with teachers outside of our school.
We took this opportunity to share with them our expertise in promoting whole-person
development for our students.

Our school
Founded in 1884, S.K.H. St. Peter's Primary School is a Christian school that nurtures the next
generation with the core values of Christianity, adhering to S.K.H.'s philosophy of schooling.
Curriculum design and execution are based on the Christian faith, so Christian values are
an integral part of the whole curriculum and allow us to practice the ideals of Christian
whole-person education.

Our development plan
This school year is the first year of a three-year development plan. During the last school year, the
principal, vice-principals, subject panel heads and committee heads have begun to explore and
analyse the needs of our students during the school year. We consulted all staff members in the
process of formulating the major concerns. Finally, we have successfully established the school's
concerns, one of which is related to the scope of our work as ‘equipping ourselves, worshipping
God and loving people, embracing the future’.

We believe that students will face different types of challenges in the future. Students need
academic knowledge and an attitude towards learning in the face of adversity and the constant
pursuit of progress. We want students to blend Biblical teachings and Chinese virtues to become
confident and so cultivate their character and encourage responsibility. Students should look at
the overall situation, be able to consider and appreciate others and respect multiculturalism.
