Tai Po Old Market Public School

The practice of everyday life and self-assessment are emphasised. Multi-formative assessments, Life education reports, student learning portfolios ranging from P.1 to P.6, are implemented and aim to inform both parents and students on the strengths and weaknesses of students. Furthermore, assessment guidelines for all subjects are set so that students are aware of the learning objectives.

The PTA, which is well-organised, has been established for 30 years. It aims to help parents understand the development of the school. We have the full support and trust of the parents. This is evident through the 300 parent volunteers and 5,000 participants helping in various activities. Workshops and seminars are conducted to educate parents in computing skills and parenting skills.

Our school provides additional support for NCS students to facilitate their learning of Chinese: providing after-school support programmes in learning Chinese; appointing additional teacher(s)/teaching assistant(s) to support NCS students' learning of Chinese; arranging intensive Chinese learning and teaching mode(s), e.g. pull-out learning if necessary, split-class/group learning, etc; organising activities to create an inclusive learning environment in the school; and our school uses Putonghua to teach Chinese in all classes / groups at all levels with extra support as appropriate, e.g. pull-out/small-group classes, learning and teaching resources with Pinyin, etc..
