Melbourne Study Tour

The first visit to Princes Hill Primary School (11 March – 23 March 2008)

Introduction

The study tour to Melbourne, Australia was held on 11th March to 23rd March in 2008. This was the first study tour of the school to visit Melbourne and our sister school, Princes Hill Primary School (PHPS). Nine students (7 P.6 students and 2 P.5 students) were chosen to be school representatives of the study tour. Principal Chan and 3 teachers led the team for the visit, together with 16 students and 4 teachers from Po Leung Kuk Laws Foundation College.

From the overseas exchange program, we wish to expands students' horizons and enhances their competitiveness so that they can learn to "think globally, act locally". The authentic and practical environment creates language needs for students to use English to communicate actively on a daily basis, result in improvement in English. For teachers, the programs helps to enrich the pedagogies and competence levels. Thus, this is a golden opportunities for our students and teachers to learn and develop.
